This free service offers an essential space for social workers at any stage of their career to talk through personal and professional challenges and to find solutions and ways forward, supported by a volunteer coach who is also a social worker.
The SWPSS can be accessed by registering to book a slot with a trained volunteer coach. During your sessions, you will be encouraged to debrief, reflect, problem solve and think about what you may need to support you in your practice.
to explore experiences, issues and emotions that have arisen during practice
to help explore behaviours and beliefs
in thinking about best practice guidance, career developments and working with other organisations, agencies, and frameworks
Would you like to develop and learn new skills as part of your continuous professional development, and share your compassion and expertise with other social workers who need it? Social Workers can apply to become a volunteer coach for the Social Work Professional Support Service (SWPSS). You will receive full induction and training upon acceptance, including ongoing formal supervision and creation of a reflective record for CPD portfolios.
If this sounds like you, please drop us a line at supportservices@basw.co.uk and we’ll have a chat with you.
