ABOUT
Cape Town Child Welfare Society offers internship opportunities for Social Work students. We take 8 local students (University of Western Cape, University of Stellenbosch, University of Cape Town, UNISA) and 2 international students per year.
All placements have to be arranged through the University whereupon an agreement is signed between Cape Town Child Welfare Society and the University. We prefer to work with final-year students, although we also welcome second-year students for observation purposes.
The student needs to have a visa for the period prior to coming to South Africa. We will provide an acceptance letter prior to placement in order for them to apply for the visa. The students need to arrange their own accommodation and transport to and from the organization.
An agreement must be signed between Cape Town Child Welfare Society and the university prior to the commencement of the placement, which will include the agreement of paying administration and supervision fees on the completion of the placement and receipt of final evaluation report from Cape Town Child Welfare Society.
- Casework includes providing intervention services to children and their families. You could also be expected to assist with research.
- Assisting social workers with their work – especially in emergency situations and children’s holiday programs.
- Facilitating group sessions. For example, abuse awareness prevention, behavior modification; parenting skills training etc.
Please submit additional information: Police clearance; ID document; 2x references; current qualifications and child protection register check
