Summary/Abstract: The paper presents theoretical aspects concerning the supervisor's competences, skills, roles and responsibilities, as well as practical aspects, based on the supervisory work involving two groups of social workers in Bihor County. Apart from a well-grounded theoretical and practical training and experience held by the supervisor, supervision also requires additional skills. The supervisor's ability to spot and solve problems, to facilitate reflection and encourage expression, the capacity to respond rationally, but also emotionally to the supervisee, a positive and supportive attitude, are only some of the qualities required of a good supervisor.
