Study Details: PGCert part-time
The Social Work Practice Education course is an opportunity for you to engage with your continuous professional development and invest in your future career development; working to enhance your professional status and skills regarding professional leadership, management, supervision, and learning and development.
The course will enable social work practitioners to develop their supervisory skills and engage with the professional learning of students undertaking their social work undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. This will, in turn, inform progression pathways within employer organisations.
During the course, you will be encouraged to develop the necessary skills and knowledge for practice – both as an internal practice educator or as an independent freelance practice educator within the field of social work placements. This must be evidenced through your commitment to undertake an appropriate practice educator role with a social work student on placement while you're studying on the course.
The themes, issues and learning covered within this course will be of interest to practitioners working within related fields of practice such as social care, nursing, and the allied health professions.
Applicants must be a registered social worker with at least two years' post-qualifying experience by the end of the course, if they are to practice within the field of social work placements.
You must have substantive support of your employer to engage within the role of a practice educator during the course.
If you are an independent applicant, you must demonstrate an indicative commitment to undertake the role of an off-site independent practice educator.
