Social Worker

The BOP is adding new social worker positions at numerous institutions nationwide, so we are in search of quality candidates! 

Most of the positions are available for employment at the Federal General Scale (GS) levels 11 and 9.  

A GS-11 position requires an MSW and an unrestricted clinical license. 

A GS-9 position requires an MSW but does NOT require a clinical license.  

Most positions are flexible and can be posted at the GS-9 or GS-11 level. 

These positions are great opportunities for new MSW graduates to step right into well-paid, professional federal government position. Any BOP Social Worker position may be considered for a GS-9 or GS-11 designation. Job duties for each of these designations are very similar, but a GS-11 designation pays a higher salary. 

There are numerous benefits and incentives available to BOP social workers, including the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program which will pay up to $75,000 towards the employees qualifying student loans. There are also relocation and retention lump sum incentive payments available depending on the job location.
