About the Fellowship

MASOC believes that every child and adolescent deserves to live in a world that allows and encourages them to lead safe, healthy, and meaningful lives. However, we know from the research that: sexual violence is less likely to be investigated if the victim is a young person of color; young people with disabilities are both much more likely to be victimized as well as to have problem sexual behaviors; Black, Latinx, and indigenous children are more likely to face arrest, prosecution in juvenile and adult courts, and to be placed on the sex offender registry.  

As professionals working in prevention and intervention, we also recognize the critical importance of building a field of highly trained, experienced professionals whose own identities reflect the diverse communities that make up Massachusetts. Too often, professionals who have identities that have made graduate school and highly influential professional networks very accessible have consciously and unconsciously created stratified professional networks, advancement opportunities, and mentorship, which leads to professional escalators for other professionals with those same identities while closing off opportunities for professionals with marginalized identities.  

MASOC provides an advancement opportunity that especially welcomes new professionals with underrepresented identities to the field and creates learning and growth in this specialized area of practice that goes beyond practicum placement or classroom learning to provide mentorship and open professional networks.   

Qualifications/Who should apply?  

MASOC is primarily an association of clinicians, so professionals in a range of clinical fields—psychology, mental health counseling, social work—with an interest in appropriate treatment of children, youth, and young adults with problem sexual behaviors should apply. However, MASOC also encourages applications from allied fields whose work intersects with and informs our own, so long as the applicant has a specific interest in this practice area: pediatrics and family medicine, law and public policy, public health, sociology, criminology, early childhood, elementary and secondary education, etc. 

MASOC is also a Massachusetts-based organization, so particularly welcomes applicants who do or are planning to live or practice in Massachusetts. However, if your research or practice area particularly involves Mass., you are also welcome to apply.  

Description of Role

The MASOC Fellow will work with the MASOC Board of Directors for 9 months (September 2026 – May 2027) on projects involving children and adolescents with problematic sexual behaviors (PSB). 

Once the Fellow is chosen, they will be matched with a mentor from the MASOC leadership based upon their interest. The mentor will provide individualized guidance, support, and career mentorship over the course of the fellowship.  

The Fellow will work on a project designed collaboratively with their mentor and MASOC. Topics can include, but are not limited to: 

•  original or collaborative research on current topics in this practice area;
• deepening specialty practice knowledge;
• curriculum/training design and implementation;
• policy and legislative advocacy;
• social media and communications.  

The time commitment is approximately 2–4 hours a week (in part based on the existing academic and training demands of the Fellow). The Fellow will attend monthly board meetings and participate in the operations of our organization through the board meetings and mentorship with the Executive Director.  

A stipend of $1,300 is provided to the Fellow as well as free registration at any MASOC conference (virtual joint conference, campus issues series, and annual in-person conference), webinar or lunch and learn, all of which carry CE credits.  

Apply by July 3!

Paine Senior Services - Cambridge, MA

Job Description

• Full time, Monday–Friday
• Flexible start/end times (e.g., 8–4, 9–5, or 10–6) and hybrid work-from-home flexibility

We're hiring a unique Geriatric In-Home Social Worker who works alongside the Executive Director, who is also a social worker. This is a meaningful opportunity to provide clinical support, advocacy, and case management to older adults and the people who love them. The person previously in this position was here for nearly 20 years.

This is a full-time role based in Cambridge, MA, combining in-home visits with office-based and remote work. The role is hybrid and flexible: most of your time is spent meeting clients where they are — often in their own homes — with the balance in a small shared office and some work-from-home hours.

Responsibilities

You'll be a trusted presence for Cambridge older adults and their families — meeting people where they are and helping them access what they need to thrive. The work blends case management, resource navigation, and advocacy, with counseling and emotional support woven naturally into the relationship rather than delivered as formal therapy sessions.

• Carry a caseload of approximately 15–25 clients, varying with acuity and need, delivering advanced case management and high-quality casework
  Provide emotional support to older adults, their families, and caregivers, grounded in strong clinical judgment and respect for each client's autonomy
• Conduct regular in-home visits (frequency ranges depending on acuity), supplemented by other modes of contact where clients prefer it
• Advocate for clients to secure resources — including medical advocacy, benefits, and insurance navigation — by collaborating with community partners and providers
• Assess needs, make timely referrals, and connect clients to the best available resources
• Represent Paine in community collaborations such as Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services, protective services, and caregiver coordination, ensuring clear communication and strong cross-team relationships
• Maintain accurate client records and data entry (currently paper-based notes — open to new systems that are HIPAA compliant)
• Provide timely and accurate billing information to Executive Director and follow billing procedures accurately
• Cross-train on Executive Director responsibilities to provide caseload coverage during the ED's absence — with room to grow into greater leadership over time

Qualifications

You're an experienced clinician who does your best work independently and knows when to reach out — someone who blends clinical skill with genuine warmth for older adults, and who can set healthy boundaries while staying approachable.

• LICSW, LCSW, LMHC, or MSW candidate with a clear plan toward licensure under supervision is required
• 3 years of experience is the minimum requirement.
• We are looking for experience in social work, case management, or other relevant fields.
• We recognize transferable skills. We imagine the person for this role will have 5-7+ years of experience.
• Experienced serving older adults and their families/caregivers, with knowledge of aging-related issues and resources (or a drive to learn)
• Skilled at evaluating needs and matching clients to the right supports
• Comfortable responding to changing situations and coordinating care across families, medical providers, and government benefits
• Able to work autonomously within a small Cambridge nonprofit — managing your own time, travel, and caseload — while recognizing when clinical consultation is needed
• Grounded and able to set and maintain professional boundaries

Bonus Points:

• Bilingual in Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, or Vietnamese
• Experience with in-home case management work
• Experience in a small-agency setting where staff wear multiple hats

Benefits

• Compensation: $70,000–$80,000, commensurate with experience, plus 3% annual increases and periodic end-of-year bonuses
• Health insurance: Paine pays 100% of the premium for individual coverage for all regular, full-time employees. Coverage begins on your date of hire, once you've enrolled and met the requirements for coverage. You may extend coverage to family members per the insurance carrier's policies; the premium beyond individual coverage is your responsibility and is deducted automatically from your paycheck.
• Dental insurance: Individual dental coverage, fully paid by Paine
  Life and disability insurance: Provided by Paine
• Retirement: After one year of continuous employment, all full-time employees are eligible for the pension (provided they enroll and meet the requirements for participation). Paine contributes 11% of your salary toward your pension, and that contribution grows as your salary does. A pre-tax 403(b) option is also available in addition.
• Paid time off:
  • Vacation: 3 weeks/year from your start through year four; 4 weeks/year at 5–14 years of employment; 5 weeks/year at 15+ years. Up to 2 weeks of accrued vacation may carry over into the next year and must be used within the first 6 months.
  • Sick leave: Accrues at one day per month
  • Personal days: 3 personal days each year, beginning in January.
  • Paid holidays: All standard holidays.
• Professional development: Paine provides funding for training to maintain your licensure
• No on-call or after-hours crisis expectations
• A small, collaborative team and direct partnership with the Executive Director
• Work that genuinely changes the lives of Cambridge older adults

Other info

• Visits are occasionally scheduled between 8am–8pm to accommodate family members who aren't local
• No personal vehicle is required; the role can be done via public transit (the T). For those who drive, Paine provides a business parking permit for use during home visits and work appointments, a small travel allowance, and a limited parking pass for a local garage.
• Physical demands: The office is ADA-accessible (elevator). No lifting or carrying is required. In-home visits may occasionally involve stairs; candidates must be able to ascend and descend some staircases.

Interview Process

• Initial interviews conducted by search firm in July
• Semi-finalists interview with Paine Senior Services
• Finalist interviews with Paine Senior Services & Board Members
• Estimated start date: late summer/early fall
