Practice Educator & ASYE Coordinator | Nottingham City Council £37.50 per hour | Contract 12 Weeks About the role Nottingham City Council is recruiting two interim Practice Educator / ASYE Coordinator professionals to support and develop a cohort of around 25 social workers per intake, with additional support from other Practice Educators. This post focuses on induction, training delivery, supervision, and capability-building across a varied cohort including ASYE/NQSW, apprentices, newly qualified practitioners, qualified social workers and pre-qualified learners. There is no caseload attached. Hybrid working is flexible and will reflect delivery requirements — you’ll be office-based more frequently during face-to-face training and scheduled supervision, with home working available during quieter delivery periods. You’ll report to a Service Manager directly. Key responsibilities Coordinate and oversee a cohort of approximately 25 ASYEs per intake, ensuring structured support, clear learning expectations and consistent progression. Plan and deliver ASYE inductions that move new starters from “new to the organisation” to safe, confident and effective statutory practitioners. Deliver face-to-face training and development sessions (with virtual elements where appropriate), aligned to organisational standards, practice expectations and workforce priorities. Provide reflective supervision / learning supervision, supporting critical thinking, safe decision-making, professional curiosity and defensible practice. Support evidence-building and assessment activity (where applicable) including quality of written work, recording standards, and progression against development plans. Identify capability or performance concerns early, implement proportionate support, and escalate appropriately with clear documentation and recommendations. Work alongside other Practice Educators and workforce colleagues to maintain consistency across cohorts, share materials and strengthen delivery. Contribute to continuous improvement through feedback, evaluation of training impact, and refinement of ASYE and learning pathways. What we’re looking for Strong experience supporting ASYE / NQSW cohorts, with clear examples of delivering inductions and developing practitioners into effective frontline social workers. Practice Educator qualification: PE1 is required; PE2 is preferred (candidates with PE1 and relevant experience will be considered). Confident training delivery skills: able to design sessions, facilitate groups, and translate legislation, policy and theory into practical application. Experience supporting a mixed cohort (e.g., apprentices, newly qualified, qualified, and pre-qualified learners) with different learning needs and starting points. Strong professional judgement and ability to address capability concerns constructively, using clear planning, documentation, and escalation routes. Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and operating with autonomy, reporting directly to a Service Manager. Availability to start ASAP is preferred, though a short notice period will be considered for the right candidate. Why this role Clear remit focused on workforce development, not caseload management. Direct influence on quality and consistency of practice through ASYE induction, training and supervision. Flexible hybrid approach, with delivery-led office attendance. Opportunity to extend beyond 12 weeks while the permanent recruitment process progresses. Interested? Emily Cooper | (phone number removed)
