With this comes an exciting opportunity for a Consultant Social Worker, who will be needed to manage and supervise a unit of participants. We are looking for a suitable experienced practitioner. The successful candidate will be offered intensive training focusing on Systemic practice, Motivational interviewing and Evidence based parenting interventions.
The Consultant Social Worker plays a pivotal role in this pioneering approach to developing the next generation of outstanding social workers. The Consultant Social Worker’s role is to lead five ‘participants’, supervising and developing these individuals to give them a rich practice learning experience. The Consultant Social Worker must therefore be first and foremost an outstanding child and family social worker themselves, with the knowledge and skills to build purposeful and productive relationships and to use effective social work approaches to help families change. In addition, they must possess the leadership qualities required to tackle the challenges of exposing four participants to the realities of practice in a way that makes them highly effective professionals. We are looking for those individuals who understand good practice and who want to see social work transformed to achieve the best outcomes for children and families.
Whilst candidates must have experience of frontline child protection social work, commitment to and confidence in their own practice is more important than length of experience. Candidates that apply for this role do not need to be trained in the evidence based approaches that form the basis of Frontline’s approach. The successful candidate will undertake the Consultant Social Worker Practice Leadership training, which is a bespoke training programme devised for this role.
