Job Details:
About the role
Progress your career as a Consultant Social Worker
We are partnering with Think Ahead – a charity that works with NHS and Local Authority mental health services to strengthen the contribution of social work. We’ll be taking on four trainee social workers (participants) who will join the organisation in August 2024. This is a great opportunity for an experienced social worker to take on the role of Consultant Social Worker/Associate Consultant Social Worker.
In this role you will:
Lead and develop four talented participants, who are passionate about mental health and social work.
Develop your skills in practice, supervision, and education.
Get fully funded CPD training with Middlesex University.
In this position, you’ll manage a “unit” of four participants who are placed in an adult mental health service. This role is open to job share. You retain a frontline role, share a service user caseload, and act as their leader and role model. You will provide practice education of outstanding quality. You’ll work with an academic tutor and assess participants’ ability to put social work theories, interventions, and legislation into practice. There may be an option to be an Associate CSW and supervise one or two participants whilst undertaking PEPS training.
You will join a group of Consultant Social Workers delivering a prestigious, high-profile initiative across the country (to date, Think Ahead has worked with more than half of NHS Trusts and over a third of Local Authorities). You’ll receive CPD training to develop your expertise in evidence-based interventions and leadership skills. You do not need to be a qualified practice educator as you will receive Practice Educator Professional Standards (PEPS) training stages 1 and 2 with Middlesex University. If you have PEPS 2, you will do one day of PEPS refresher training.
You will be a registered social worker with significant experience of working with service users with complex mental health needs from a range of adult mental health services. You will also need the enthusiasm, confidence, and authority to inspire others. We will expect you to role-model these personal qualities following Think Ahead’s values:
Motivation: commitment to undertake practice education and deliver high quality placement learning.
Adaptability: ability to adapt to competing demands of the role.
Relationship-building: establish an effective collaborative working relationship with participants and manage the power and authority in the educator/assessor role skilfully with underpinning principles of equality, diversity and inclusion.
Communication: ability to provide constructive feedback for participants' practice and development.
Problem-solving: ability to look at strengths-based approaches to navigate complexity in placement learning.
Self-awareness: understanding of professional values and ethics and able to advise participants of their rights and actively lead on challenging oppressive or discriminatory situations that may be experienced by participants.
Please refer to the for more information.
Role Specific Qualifications:
Social work qualification at degree level and current Social Work England social work registration.
