They are a membership organisation with over 350 individual and corporate members. They exist to promote and support the development of the social work profession, and to inform, influence and improve public policy and public services.
Alongside a core team based in Edinburgh, Social Work Scotland support several projects, including the National Joint Investigative Interviewing Team, based at the Scottish Police College at Tulliallan.
The Role
This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified and experienced practitioner to join a multi-agency team with a remit to deliver the National Joint Investigative Interviewing Training Programme, for the Scottish Child Interview Model, a new approach to joint investigative interviews.
The Scottish Child Interview Model (SCIM) is a fundamental aspect of the national Bairns’ Hoose model. The SCIM model is trauma-informed, keeps the needs and rights of children at the centre of the process and achieves best evidence through robust planning and interviewing techniques.
Social Work Scotland is seeking a dynamic individual, able to work in a secondary setting, and uphold and teach the core social work values within the context of child protection. Work of the National Team contributes directly to policy and practice developments in the wider children’s services landscape, including, but not limited to, The Promise, UNCRC, Bairns’ Hoose, Age of Criminal Responsibility and implementation of the National Guidance for Child Protection in Scotland.
The successful candidate will deliver the training programme to police and social work practitioners, support the programme of ongoing practice evaluation and contribute to ongoing development of the programme. Experience of working from evidence and relationship-based perspective in the field of child protection in Scotland is essential, as is a sound grounding in social work legislation and principles, and evidenced practice in improving outcomes for children.
The successful candidate should be an experienced practitioner, committed to work on a multi-agency basis, applying trauma informed practice and focused on the voice of the child and family, and with experience or evidence of capacity in relation to training.
