by GARY SPOLANDER, Linda Martin
Part of the Essential Skills for Social Work Managers series
Paperback / softback
Description
Managers in social work and social care contexts are required to manage a wide range of projects: long-term and short-term, on large and small scales, in partnership with other agencies, and covering a broad range of issues and contexts. Management of these projects requires specific expertise, and this book sets out what these core skills are and how they can be achieved.
Topics such as managing resources, assessing risks, and measuring outcomes are covered, as well as how to start and end a project.
The authors acknowledge the values and ethics inherent to care environments, as well as the business skills necessary for good management.
Detailed case studies demonstrate the ideas in action, and reflective activities, practical tools and action checklists are included throughout. This practical handbook provides a clear and comprehensive guide to how to be an excellent project manager, and is a must-read for all social work and social care managers and post-qualifying social work and social care students.
