Supervisory Social Worker
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

We'll create a

Requirements: Basic requirements: US Citizenship, English Language Proficiency, Education (master's degree in social work from CSWE accredited school), Licensure (must be licensed/certified by state to independently practice social work at master's level). Also note about pending completion etc but that's more about qualifications.
We can put under Requirements.
Qualifications: Grade determinations: GS-13 experience/education: one year experience equivalent to GS-12, advanced practice skills, certification/post-master's training, licensure/certification at advanced practice level, ability to provide supervision for licensure. Also KSAs list.
Preferred Experience: Experience in Mental Health leadership, work experience with Substance use Disorders and/or PTSD, preferably training in Evidence based psychotherapies.
We could combine Qualifications and Skills? But we need separate sections if content.
We'll have:
- Requirements (basic reqs)
- Qualifications (grade determinations, KSAs, preferred experience)
- Skills (maybe KSAs again? but we can put KSAs under Skills). However KSAs are knowledge, skills, abilities; they'd fit Skills.
Better: Requirements = basic eligibility (citizenship, education, licensure). Qualifications = experience/education, grade determinations, preferred experience. Skills = KSAs list.
Let's extract KSAs:
- Ability to independently organize work - set priorities - and meet multiple deadlines
- Skill in a range of supervisory duties which includes clinical supervision - consultation - negotiation with other departments and quality improvement
- Ability to ensure provision of clinical social work services by supervised social workers
- Ability to delegate authority - manage priorities - coordinate work - and follow up on pending issues to complete duties in an accurate and timely fashion
- Ability to analyze organizational and operational problems - develop and implement solutions that result in efficient operations - and use data effectively to manage workload - quality - performance - and productivity within the service
- Ability to provide staff training and development
Also mention: For all assignments above the full performance level - the higher-level duties must consist of significant scope - complexity (difficulty) - and variety and be performed by the incumbent at least 25% of the time. Supervisory social workers at the GS-13 grade level typically supervise professional and non-professional staff... This is more about role but could be under Qualifications.
We'll include that as part of Qualifications.
Now Benefits: list:
- Paid Time Off: 37-50 days of annual paid time off per year (13-26 days of annual leave - 13 days of sick leave - 11 paid Federal holidays per year)
- Selected applicants may qualify for credit toward annual leave accrual - based on prior work experience or military service experience
- Parental Leave: After 12 months of employment - up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave in connection with the birth - adoption - or foster care placement of a child
- Child Care Subsidy: After 60 days of employment - full time employees with a total family income below $144,000 may be eligible for a childcare subsidy up to 25% of total eligible childcare costs for eligible children up to the monthly maximum of $416.66
- Retirement: Traditional federal pension (5 years vesting) and federal 401K with up to 5% in contributions by VA
- Insurance: Federal health/vision/dental/term life/long-term care (many federal insurance programs can be carried into retirement)
- Telework: Ad-Hoc Virtual: This is not a virtual position (maybe note but not a benefit; we could include under Benefits as note but it's not a benefit; maybe we skip or include as a note under Benefits? It's not a benefit; but we could include under Benefits as "Telework: Not a virtual position (ad-hoc virtual only)". However instruction: only include sections when posting has real specific content. Telework is mentioned but it's a statement that it's not a virtual position. Could be included under Benefits or maybe under Schedule? It's not schedule. I'd include under Benefits as a note.
Pay: Competitive salary and regular salary increases; higher step rate after consideration of higher or unique qualifications or special needs (Above Minimum Rate of the Grade).
Schedule: Work Schedule: 7:00am - 3:30pm - Monday - Friday- Alternate Tours to be considered.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat sentences.
