Looking for p/t job while doing MSW

I plan to work part time in a field related to social work. However, I can't work as a social worker since I did my bachelor's degree in another field. Could anyone recommend the types of jobs I should consider or suggest the types of organizations that may be interested in hiring a first year social work student? 

 

In case you're wondering....I did my undergrad degree in therapeutic recreation. I'd look for work in TR but the job market in TR is generally weak in Canada. So I only have internship and volunteer experience in the field. I also have experience as a nursing assistant in a hospital and a psychiatric unit.

 

I am primarily interested in working adults but I'd consider working with kids on a one-on-one basis.

 

I plan to contact the school and inquire about job postings on and off campus but I'd also like to drop off cv's at various facilities in the community as well. But I'm not sure what sort of jobs I should be targeting when I write my cover letter.

 

Do you have any suggestions?
