Development can take different forms. HCSWs may wish to develop higher levels of responsibility, knowledge and skills (vertical progression) or to remain at the same level of the career framework but continue to build on existing knowledge and skills across the Pillars of Practice. Additional information and support for managers can be found on Support Worker Central.
