Career Opportunities

Providing mentoring opportunities to master students is an important way Maternal Health Niagara gives back to the field. Emily Pollak, MSW, RSW, offers clinical supervision and placement opportunities for Master Level Social Work Students. 

Maternal Health Niagara will not provide external supervision for placement interns. We recognize that some practices accept students for their business model; however, those owners do not qualify as supervisors, as they do not meet the clinical requirements. We believe that a quality placement provides internal supervision, which helps ensure safe and ethical practice. 

If you wish to submit your application, please send a letter of interest and resume to Emily Pollak at Admin@maternalniagara.ca. 

**Please note that Emily will not accept applications for Yorkville University.
