Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom Social Work England Full time

Social Work England are the specialist regulator for social work in England, focused on enabling positive change in social work. Every day, social workers support millions of people to improve their chances in life. We are taking a new approach to regulating social workers in their vital roles. We believe in the power of collaboration and share a common goal with those we regulate – to protect the public, enable positive change and ultimately improve people's lives.

Our programme for social work education and training will strengthen the link between education standards and the professional standards to deliver better education and training in a way that is consistent, outcomes focused and upholds public protection. The programme sits in our professional practice and external engagement directorate to reflect our commitment to collaboration, engagement and the drive for improvement.

Purpose of the role

The Head of Education Programmes is responsible for providing the strategic leadership and operational delivery of our quality assurance programme for social work education and training. This includes oversight of our inspection processes and implementation plans, as well as shaping key cross-organisation projects, such as education and training guidance and standards development. Engaging with stakeholders and collaboration with sector colleagues will be critical to success; and co-production will be central to our approach.

The role is responsible for providing operational leadership and management of the quality assurance programme for social work education and training. This is one of the organisation's key regulatory responsibilities, and the Head of Education Programmes is responsible for ensuring timely and consistent decision making based on a high quality and evidence-based inspection framework. Going forward, as we learn from our first full cycle of inspections, the Head of Education Programmes is responsible for continuously looking to improve our systems and structures to deliver this important regulatory function, working closely with colleagues internally and externally.
