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 and developmental, and psychological concerns experienced by post-secondary students.
- Assess suicide risk and developing appropriate dispositions and safety plans.
- Demonstrate commitment to student-centered practices anchored in social justice with a focus on equity for students belonging to historically marginalized and underrepresented groups.
- 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 healthcare.
- Assist with the management and oversight of records within the electronic database and ensures 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 manages those files in accordance with professional and legislative regulations.

**This is a full-time 18-month contract position expected to end March 2026.**
