8. Case Worker
Salary: $20,000 – $28,000
Next one on the list of best part-time jobs for social work students in NYC is the job of a case worker for Salvation Army, which includes maintaining the food pantry, Soup Kitchen, and other assistance programs, keeping the proper files and statistics, and giving assistance to the social service if needed.
While working this job one would have to interview clients to determine their individual needs, to advocate on behalf of them and to make the necessary referrals for service and assistance.
Basically, you’d serve as liaison between the Salvation Army Bushwick corps and the public social service agencies.
The job requires the applicants to have at least a high school diploma and at least 2 years of experience in the field of social work, so it helps if you’ve done some sort of volunteer work. Computer proficiency is also required, along with a valid driver’s license since you’ll have to do a lot of field work.
