Job description

Reflective Supervision | Stable Service | Manageable Caseload | Hybrid | Multiple Career Progression Opportunities

Are you keen to progress your career as a practitioner in children's services, but finding opportunities with your current employer limited?

We're partnered with a highly regarded local authority in the Slough area, on a great opportunity for an experienced practitioner to join the Children with Disabilities team as a Senior Social Worker on a permanent position.

Annual salary - up to £54,320

The team is a small one, but with a strong reputation for stability, with vacancies rarely cropping up within the service. This close-knit team is supported by a super supportive senior management structure, who are all with the authority on a permanent basis and will make you feel at home from day 1 – giving you time to settle in and focus on building relationships with the children and families involved in the service, as well as the team around you.

The package also includes:

• 29 days annual leave, increasing to 33 days after 2 years and 35 days after 4 years with an additional day off in your birthday month
• Tailored induction sessions commencing on the date you start working for the council
• Flexible working options - to help keep a good work-life balance
• Learning and development opportunities
• Regular reflective supervision

The CwD service is very stable, so you can expect a manageable workload, with cases split evenly across the service. This council is seeking someone who wants to continue to progress their career, with a very much realistic route into management and regular opportunities for further career progression on offer. Also, many of the existing senior management team have progressed through the ranks, so the progression is there to see!

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