Job description

Most social workers we speak with value flexibility and a stable contract, not firefighting weekly...

This is what you can expect with this role, senior management support and understand social workers do their best work, when they're allowed to manage their diary - in return you're allowed to 'crack on' and reward that trust by supporting children and families for the very best outcomes.

Except a realistic and manageable caseload, so you can give each case the time it needs to provide the best service to children and families concerned. This council have also incorporated a flexible working schedule, which allows you to condense you're hours into 4 days, so you can have a 3 day weekend to spend more quality time with loved ones.

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

At Leaders in Care, we pride ourselves on matching social workers with their desired roles in long term, secure contracts. If you're an experienced social worker looking for a new challenge or completely new to agency social work and want to understand how it works, we've got you covered.

We also offer a competitive referral scheme, offering £500 for anyone we successfully place from your referral.
