Job description

Quick Starts | Flexible Working | Staggered Caseload

We’re currently helping an authority based in South Wales bolster their Safeguarding Team – they’ve just had the go‑ahead for another Social Worker to join the Team on a part‑time basis. The team has been stable for some time; this additional part‑time post is to ensure quality of work continues and that full‑time workers are supported by keeping cases manageable.

As a social worker who enjoys managing your diary and works well when trusted to manage your caseload, this role will be ideal.
