Practice tutors (PT’s) play a key role in delivering  Approach Social Work.

PTs support practice hubs, based within statutory children’s social care services. Each practice hub is led by a Consultant Social Worker (CSW). Core to the PT role is the ability to provide support, challenge and guidance to participants and CSWs to ensure a high-quality practice learning experience. You will continue to support participants for all three years of the programme, including supervising their Masters’ dissertation.

You will be a qualified social worker with direct experience of working with children and families, and knowledge and experience of supporting social work students. 

You need a good understanding of the social work role and be able to make links with adults’ and children’s services. You need excellent social work practice skills, experience of developing others and a commitment to educating a new generation of social workers. 

This role provides the opportunity to genuinely align practice and theory. In doing so you will be committed to evidence informed practice models and have an appetite to exploring different and innovative approaches to teaching these models.
