Description

This contract is to design, develop and deliver a cohesive leadership CPD programme to approximately 1000 social workers each contract year, that includes a range of models, and is tailored to reflect the needs and aspirations of leaders at the following stages of a social worker's leadership journey: - Practice Supervisors; qualified social workers whose primary responsibility is to supervise the practice and decision-making of Child and Family Practitioners, and to develop the skills of individuals and teams within child and family social work services. - Middle Managers; qualified social workers who are managers of Practice Supervisors but are not Heads of Service. They will have operational and management responsibilities. - Heads of Service; managers of a children's service area. The Head of Service is both operational and strategic, with each leader having oversight of a service area. This role may also be referred to as a service manager. - Practice Leaders; qualified social workers with the day-to-day operational responsibility across the whole local system for child and family social work practice, ensuring it operates correctly and overseeing child and family frontline practitioners and leaders. Most usually, this is referred to as the Assistant Director of Children's Social Care or Director of Family Services or an equivalent position. The programme will support those already in post working as Practice Supervisors and both in-post and aspirant Middle Managers, Heads of Service and Practice Leaders to ensure there is consistent, high-quality leadership across the sector and to develop a pipeline of leaders in the child and family social work workforce by providing a pathway to senior leadership. The aims of the programme are: - Equip child and family social workers with the skills they need to be effective leaders and managers throughout their career. - Develop a pathway for leaders from Practice Supervisor through to Practice Leader level, providing a clear career journey to senior leadership. - Empower leaders to embed their learning and development in the workplace and model high quality practice, underpinned by theory and best evidence. - Inspire leaders to champion the Post Qualifying Standards (PQS) for Practice Supervisors and Practice Leaders and support the development of knowledge and skills in the managers and frontline practitioners that they supervise
