Job description

Part time hours offered | Capped Caseload | £6k in welcome & retention | Flexible Working | Welcome Payment of £4,000

Are you looking for some advancement in your career, but seem to be held back by your current employer's need for your knowledge and skills – meaning you get the complex and high caseloads rather than the advancement you want?

Are you an agency worker looking to step into seniority, or a permanent member not getting the chance to step up? Albeit agency is attractive for many reasons (we completely get it!), and staying put in a job you know is comfortable - but what can a change offer you?

You would be bringing your experience with working with children in placements to further bolster their 16+ care leavers team. As a Child & Families Social Worker you will be instrumental in delivering a first-class service to ensure the best outcomes for the children and young people of Gloucestershire. Through building positive relationships with colleagues within the service and partner agencies, you will ensure we are able to provide support and protection for children and young people in need and at risk.

Locations: Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Stroud, Cirencester and Forest of Dean

The package includes:

• welcome payment of £4,000
• Between £37,938- £39,513 per annum for a Social Worker or between £40,476- £45,718 per annum for a Senior Social Worker subject to experience
• an annual retention payment of £2,000
• a relocation package of up to £8,000
• Flexible working options
• generous annual leave starting at 25.5 days and increasing to 30.5 days after five years, and the ability to purchase 10 additional days per year provide added flexibility

The Council is dedicated to providing timely support for every child, aiming to ensure a happy and fulfilling life. This comes from focusing on continuous improvement, embracing effective social work practices (systemic practice & relational approach), and empowering staff to have a real impact on children's lives. The team structure is carefully designed to support staff with manageable caseloads, including a Team Manager, Advanced Practitioner, and four Social Workers in each team.
