Job description

Social Worker – Child in Care

Big improvements have been made at Northamptonshire Children's Trust over the last couple of years, as they continue to strive and deliver an impeccable service to young people & families.

From speaking with senior management, it's clear to see that they have the best interest for its workers, and now they are looking to build on what is an already thriving group of teams with a few more experienced heads to deliver aid in their Child in Care team.

The flexible-working role comes with a salary of £37,884 to £41,120.

Main Benefits:

1. £39,384 to £42,620
2. £6,000 Welcome bonus
3. Retention bonus
4. Learning & development
5. Opportunity to purchase up to 25 days holiday!
6. 28 days annual leave (plus 8 bank holidays)

Caseloads will be fairly distributed and the team have a sense of togetherness in which they dig in and work together. Managers are keen to have bums on seats in the office with hybrid working also a possibility.

The trust is developing a culture that allows the very highest quality of professional practice to flourish and evolve. This is a really exciting time to be joining a long-term project that should see the trust transition into a local authority in the near distant future.

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