An MSW program was established in 1983 and a PhD program in 1994; the BSW and MSW programs have been continuously accredited since their inception. Together with 11 staff, the 19 faculty members offer programs, through a combination of on-campus and distance delivery, to approximately 200 undergraduate students, 65 MSW and 16 PhD students. Recent developments at the School include substantial additional provincial funding; revision of the BSW program; increased enrolment in the BSW and MSW programs; the introduction of a second-degree BSW program in fall 2010, and a new program delivered in Goose Bay, Labrador in co-operation with the Nunatsiavut Government; and significant hiring of new faculty. The School participates actively in Memorial’s Centre for Collaborative Health Professional Education. The School of Social Work is one of fourteen Faculties and Schools at Memorial. Founded in 1925, Memorial is the largest university in Atlantic Canada, offering more than 100 degree programs to a student population of 17,600.

Reporting to the Vice-President, Academic and Pro Vice-Chancellor, the next Director of the School of Social Work will provide visionary leadership to a team of faculty and staff who are passionate about the service they provide for their students, alumni, and the local, national and international communities. She or he will lead the consolidation of existing programs and the creation of innovative, sustainable programs; foster the development of relationships in the School, and between the School and other Faculties; and build external links for the School. The successful candidate will have an outstanding record as a scholar, teacher and member of the profession; relevant administrative experience, including involvement in collaborative teams, and proven effectiveness as a leader; a collegial and open management style; and the capacity to be a strong and visible advocate for the School inside the University and externally.
