Job description

Manageable caseload | Supportive management | Flexible working | L&D opportunities | Loyalty bonus

Are you searching for a role where you feel valued and supported by both your managers and your agency?

Leaders in Care are currently working with a highly regarded local authority in the Southwest of England, to recruit for experienced Children’s Social Workers to join a fast-paced, super supportive Child Protection team that offers a great pay rate of £42 per hour, that is topped up with our exclusive Leaders in Care bonus.

With this council, you don’t have to worry about being bogged down with too many cases, as caseloads are split evenly to ensure they are manageable, and you will be supported by a long-standing management structure to ensure a stable and stress free working environment.

The role will involve picking up child in need cases, ongoing care proceedings, conducting assessments and making informed decisions about the most appropriate interventions to support the child and family. Although this council are happy to consider a range of experience, experience in child protection and court work would be desirable.

As this is a statutory role, you do require a social work qualification & registration to Social Work England.

There are immediate starts available. However not to worry, this council will wait up to 1 month for the right person. Due to our great relationship with this council, we can provide ongoing support throughout the full process, as well as being there to support you through the placement.
