**ABOUT HURON UNIVERSITY**:
Huron is unique to post-secondary institutions in Canada. With the aim to redefine Liberal Arts education, Huron is creating a university experience unlike any other that prioritizes ethical leadership and community engagement, as much as the pursuit of academic achievement.

As the founding college of Western University, since 1863, Huron has remained strategically small to best serve the needs of its students. We provide an elite, yet accessible, education because every student with the passion and work ethic to positively change our world deserves to access the knowledge to understand it and the skills to shape it. Huron’s mission is to develop Leaders with Heart from all backgrounds and foster a vibrant and inclusive community and prepare students to be engaged citizens who transform the sectors they work within. Our commitment to providing the best possible Liberal Arts education means students have many unique opportunities to enrich their learning experiences.

- Demonstrate familiarity with the unique social, developmental, and psychological concerns experienced by post-secondary students.

- Demonstrate commitment to student-centred practices anchored in social justice with a focus on equity for students belonging to historically marginalized and underrepresented groups.
- Strong commitment to self-reflection and cultural awareness
- Proficient in program development, group facilitation and learning principles.
- Provide training and clinical supervision for graduate students in social work, including case-focused supervision, presentation of training materials, and general mentorship concerning the challenges and opportunities associated with university-based mental health care.
- Assist with the management and oversight of records within the electronic database and ensure that records and data are maintained in accordance with Huron’s policies and practices.
- Manage effective, efficient, and detailed case records to support file management systems, including appropriate documentation of all student activities, communications, and reports, and manage those files in accordance with professional and legislative regulations.
