Main duties of the job
The senior PWP role involves supporting both qualified PWPs and those in their training as apprentice/trainee PWPs. You will offer both clinical skills and case management supervision to the PWPs as part of your role, as well as ad hoc support to your step 2 colleagues. You will continue to retain a small caseload of clients to keep your PWP skills up to date, as well as maintaining your professional registration.
You will work together with the senior PWPs and management team to create a supportive environment for the step 2 team. You will have knowledge of the service targets and support PWPs to achieve the targets set, as well as providing knowledge to the wider team about the role of a PWP.
