As a Social Worker within our CWD team, you’ll be responsible for receiving and co-ordinating complex referrals and performing the resulting assessments, making professional judgements to create care plans for children and families.

You’ll take the lead role and responsibility for coordinating the multi-agency approach to prevent and address child protection issues and children in need. No matter the case or task, you’ll always promote anti-discriminatory practice and empower others.

We are looking for an experienced Social Worker with substantial post qualifying experience in a social/health care field.

You’ll be a strong and effective communicator, both verbally and in written correspondence, with the ability to deal with a wide range of service users, including children and other professionals.

This is a rewarding role where you’ll have the opportunity to develop your existing knowledge and understanding of child development and issues of family dynamics.

We do ask that you have Dip SW, CQSW, or a recognised equivalent professional qualification and are able to regularly visit children and families in their own homes.

We’re a small borough with a real family feel. So when you join us, we’ll really look after you. You’ll only take on a manageable number of cases, have plenty of flexible working options and access to development opportunities. So, if you’re passionate about driving change and supporting our children and young people, please click apply to join our family and realise the remarkable!
