PRINCIPAL FOR SOCIAL WORK INSTITUTE
Further Step In Implementing White Paper Proposal
An advertisement in the major newspapers today invites applications
for the post of Principal of the new Institute for Social Work Training, one
of the major proposals in the draft white paper on social welfare.
Mr. T.S. Heppell, Assistant Director (General), Social Welfare
Department, says the hope is that a number of suitable candidates in Hong Kong
will come forward.
With the Institute expected to be functioning in the Lady Trench
Training Centre, Wanchai, at the start of the new academic year this September,
it will be necessary for the Principal to take up his appointment as soon as
practicable.
The advertisement lists his qualifications as follows: he must be
at least 35 years of age, have a degree in social sciences and be in possession
of a master's degree, or an equivalent, or a higher qualification, in social
work obtained at an approved university.
He should have wide experience in general social service administration
at a senior level and some knowledge of teaching, or wide experience in teaching
with some knowledge of general social services administration.
His salary will go from $5,940 to $6,490 a month, by two increments,
and he will be appointed, if under 45, on probationary terms for two years,
after which he, or she, will be eligible for consideration for confirmation
to the permanent and pensionable establishment.
