Casework & Supervision
Caseload
work days are either a Saturday or a Sunday, between the
hours of 8am & 6pm, or between 8am to 12 noon

expected to arrange for three peer group supervision

group supervisions, will take place on a weekday evening
from 7pm to 8.30pm Individual supervisions by
arrangement at suitable times. Attendance is required at
