I was told by the hiring manager at the time that she would be able to provide me with supervision. A few weeks later, she was no longer my manager. The new manager was unlicensed and did not have a SW background. I didn't initially discuss wanting my supervision with this new manager but when I brought it up to her and suggested that a colleague was willing to provide me with supervision, my manager said that it could not happen because my colleague was part-time. There were other SWs in my department receiving supervision but she felt that the person who was providing hours, couldn't and shouldn't take on an additional person.

Clinical Supervision should be provided by any clinical setting as part of the employment , mentoring, to gain knowledge, best practices and relevant methods .

Taking away this opportunity makes no sense at all. If we want strong workers we need to provide them with the opportunity to become stronger, instead of taking it away.

I was promised clinical supervision before joining this organization. Took a full time position, leaving another organization that was willing to provide me hours. Left other job trusting this organization would support my goals in coming an LCSW. Going on 4 years waiting to get my licensing hours started.

Coming into this organization and not knowing that they do not sign off on supervision hours or allow supervision for us ASW to obtain our LCSW is ridiculous. Especially when they expect SW to be licensed.

Was lead to believe supervision would be "worked out". In my 5 yrs at Kaiser I have had 5 different clinical supervisors with very long gaps without supervision.
