Nib Shared Vision’s Social Work Typology Model uses an immersive, interactive, and supportive learning approach to enable Newly Qualified Social Workers (NQSW’s) to be competent and productive within six months whilst enhancing knowledge and professional skills in their practice.
The model enables an organisation to identify and recruit new social work professionals at pace to support the creation of a permanent, sustainable workforce delivering high quality social work for children and families.
The Typology model provides the bedrock of new social work professionals who provide the opportunity for cultural alignment and continuous practice improvement.

'The Typology programme is a well-structured, initiative-led approach that effectively bridges the learning gap for newly qualified social workers. Despite having an Advanced Practitioner and Team Manager, the support I received from my Mentor was pivotal during the first six months. Her role in guiding my professional development was instrumental and individual sessions significantly enhanced my confidence and skills in direct work with children.'

'The growth in my newly qualified social worker's confidence has been remarkable since she has been part of the Typology programme, and it's clear that the mentor's guidance has played a significant role in that transformation. Nib Shared Vision's ability to equip social workers with the skills and strategies needed to navigate the role has been invaluable. Your approach is collaborative, tailored to individual needs, and consistently high in quality.'
