The province is seeking up to three members of the public to appoint to the NSCSW Board of Examiners (BOE) for terms that will begin in March 2025. Our Board of Examiners oversees the application of regulatory policy, approves social work applicants, and makes all decision regarding the complaints and discipline matters brought before the College.
They’re looking for people who are not social workers, and who have:
- good common sense
- good problem solving skills
- ability to devote the time and effort required to deal with a high volume of work that the BOE is required to address
- interest in the profession of social work
- interest in participating in the accountability to the public for competent social work practice.
- critical thinking to carry out policy and decision-making with respect to the BOE’s regulatory functions
- familiarity with administrative law, and/or previous experience as a board chairperson or a member of a tribunal or other regulatory body
There is also a particular need for members from equity-seeking groups.
The BOE typically meets for two hours on the third Thursday of every month. BOE members have the option to sit on the complaints or discipline committees, which would require an additional time commitment.
We encourage our members to share this opportunity among your personal and professional networks.
