Abstract Social work practice is demanding on practitioners. Social workers handle high workloads and are often exasperated by the administrative demands associated with their duties. Dwindling resources further frustrate them and so do the ever-changing landscapes of social, political and health aspects brought forth by globalisation, technological ties, emigration and environmental challenges. Against this backdrop, there is a need for purposeful and constructive supportive social work supervision in practice. Consequently, this paper presents the supportive social work supervision model. The model was developed using the intervention design and development (D&D) methodology. The model is derived from findings of exploring the nature and the extent of supportive social work supervision amongst social workers employed in Mpumalanga Province of South Africa. During the exploration, the mixed method approach, i.e. the QUAN-qual sequential dominant status-design, was adopted and data was collected through a self-developed questionnaire from social workers and through semi-structured interviews from supervisors.
