The successful applicant will work closely with the Social Work and Social Care team, university placement team, and our various local partners to ensure the curriculum reflects contemporary practice and policy, and ensure best practice is reflected in the student’s education, with a focus on supporting Social Work apprenticeship students through their programme and completing associated individual learner reviews and direct observations.

 

 

 

This role offers the opportunity to use a coaching approach to supporting students and supervisors in practice and contribute to the development of new and existing placement areas.
