This is open for those who have or will receive their social work qualification prior to September 2024 and wish to be considered for the ASYE programme in Lambeth.
You will join our ASYE Academy with a cohort of up to 20 NQSWs in September 2024 and in addition to the supported offered within your team, you will be supported by one of two dedicated Consultant Social Workers (CSWs) to be your ASYE assessor throughout the year.
The CSWs are non-case-holding, which means you get the direct support through reflective supervision and training alongside your practice supervision from you line manager. The CSW’s will support you to meet the requirements set out in the Professional Capabilities and Post Qualifying Knowledge and Skills frameworks. You will spend the majority of your time on direct work with children, putting your learning into practice in one of the most diverse and complex boroughs in the country.
