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.
