They are required to undertake regular and supported critically reflective supervision with a dedicated assessor, undertake 3 direct observations of their practice and produce 2 pieces of critical reflection, as well as gathering evidence from professionals and service users.
In acknowledgement of the significant amount of work required of the programme we have sought and gained agreement from the trust that all newly qualified social workers should initially be appointed at a Band 5 level. We have discussed with HR and all job advertisements and job descriptions for which social workers are eligible to apply, will now include the ASYE as an essential criteria for NQSWs and inform them that progression to Band 6 is dependent on the successful completion of the ASYE.
This does not bar NQSWs from applying for Band 6 opportunities but recruiting managers must be mindful that, unless exceptional circumstances can be applied, all NQSWs will start at Band 5.
