National Association of Social Workers Zimbabwe (NASW-Z)

Background
The National Association of Social Workers Zimbabwe (NASW-Z) is a voluntary, membership-based, non-partisan, non-tribal, non-racial, non-discriminatory and not-for-profit organisation which was established in order to advance the interests of social workers and raise their professional status. NASW-Z undertakes to enhance the professional growth and development of its members, to create and maintain professional standards, and to advance sound social policies in Zimbabwe. In furtherance of its mandate and as its contribution to the Social Welfare Workforce Strengthening in Zimbabwe, NASW has entered into strategic partnerships with the Department of Social Services, Council of Social Workers and World Education to run a Social Worker graduate internship programme since January 2013. In this regard, the Association is seeking to recruit Social Workers currently out of employment to be engaged on an internship basis for a period of one year to help such Social Workers gain the much needed employment experience while at the same time contributing to national Social Welfare workforce strengthening.
