South Lanarkshire Council is an ambitious, high performing organisation with a clear vision and programme of action which is designed to improve the lives and prospects of everyone in South Lanarkshire.
The aim of Social Work Resources is to promote social welfare and provide effective care and support to meet the needs of vulnerable people in South Lanarkshire.
In partnership with community planning partners, voluntary and independent provider organisations, we offer a range of services designed to enable, support, improve and protect the health and social care of people using our services.
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Council’s Learning and Development Service. We are looking to recruit a part time Staff Development Officer to lead on identifying and meeting the learning & development needs of staff within Social Work Resources.
The successful candidate will work closely with Learning and Development colleagues to support the learning needs of Care at Home and wider Social Care employees within Social Work Services, including Social Work Assistants and front-line managers. While the role is primarily aligned to Care at Home services, applicants must also demonstrate relevant experience within a social work context.
We are seeking an experienced practitioner with a strong understanding of both Care at Home services and Social Work Resource functions. This includes the ability to support practice related to the identification, analysis and management of risk. The successful applicant will be committed to ensuring colleagues have access to high-quality learning and development opportunities that enable them to perform effectively in their roles.
Learning and Development is central to South Lanarkshire Council, and we take pride in the quality of provision offered to our workforce. You will join a dedicated team working in partnership with South Lanarkshire University Health and Social Care Partnership to deliver a range of professional learning opportunities. These are designed to ensure staff meet statutory requirements, deliver robust social work services to the community, and fulfil their professional potential.
As our ways of working continue to evolve, so too have our approaches to learning. We are therefore looking for an individual who demonstrates flexibility, strong communication skills, and a willingness to adopt and promote a blended approach to learning.
Applications are invited from suitably qualified and experienced professionals, who are looking for a new challenge, or seeking promotion.
At a minimum applicants should have the following:
• Degree in Social Work, Dip SW, or other recognised Social Work Qualification
• Registered with the Scottish Social Services Council
• Minimum of 2 years post qualifying experience
• Experience of supporting the learning & development of others
• Willingness to develop skill and competence in delivery of learning & development
• PVG clearance for regulated work will be required prior to commencement
