If the answer to either of these questions is a resounding, “YES!”, then I’ve got a solution for you. I’m Gary Crisp and I have been an Independent Social Worker for 13 years and now help run a successful Private Social Work company. I’ve made every mistake possible, and I suppose that is what qualifies me more than anything to be your guide into the world of Independent Social Work. 13 years of mistakes is a lot, and I would be delighted to help you avoid each and every one of them. I didn’t mean to, of course. It’s not a trophy or “who can make the most mistakes” competition, it’s just the learning that many go through.
Independent Social Work is becoming very popular for numerous reasons; some Social Workers are frustrated with the bureaucracy of working for a local authority, some want to be their own boss and others want to do Social Work without having to worry about budgets, resource allocation systems and funding panels. It’s not an easy world to navigate, and I have 3 programmes that I am currently running. However, spaces are limited and due to other work commitments (I am living proof that you too can be a busy ISW) I can only sell 5 of each of the offers below each month.
During a Microsoft Teams call with no more than 4 other people, I will provide you with everything you need to know to operate as an Independent Social Worker. From insurance to running your own business, there’s lots to do before you take on your first piece of work. This option is perfect for anyone who is “just looking” or considering the world of Independent Social Work. For jut £99, you can find out exactly what’s involved and decide whether it is for you without having to invest lots of money.
During the first Microsoft Teams Call, you’ll find out everything you need to know to operate as an Independent Social Worker, this is the same as offer 1 above. The second call will be booked in two weeks after the first and we will talk about promoting your business. Where to get work, how to find your niche and how to advertise yourself. This option is perfect for anyone who has taken (or is about to take) the first step to becoming an Independent Social Worker. These 2 video calls will help you focus and set everything up in the first 2 weeks of your new business.
This is the BIG one, literally everything I know about independent social work will be shared over 6 one hour sessions each week spread over 8 weeks. Your sessions will consist of offer 2 above… and so much more! This option is for those who have the budget and want to dive head-on into the wonderful world of Independent Social Work. I will be your guide for the first 8 weeks helping you navigate your way into your first pieces of work. The feeling you get when you receive your first instruction is incredible!
I can only take on a maximum of 5 people each month for each of the options above, I still practice as an Independent Social Worker so my time is limited. If I’m full up for the coming month, I will add you to the waiting list for the following months.
