Job Description

Our vision for our children and young people - To make North Somerset a truly great place for children and young people to thrive; where all have the best possible life and opportunities, including those who are vulnerable, disadvantaged and/or have special educational or additional needs.

North Somerset offers a beautiful environment, including part of the Mendip Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Children’s Service is committed to a high-quality, child-centred approach based on building effective relationships to ensure the right help at the right time.

We believe every child should grow up in a safe, loving home, supported through life's challenges. Our focus is on helping children, young people, and families at risk of entering care or experiencing family breakdown, providing mediation, reconnections, or transitional support.

We work to the 6 fundamentals:

1. Relationship matters
2. Seeing and hearing the child or young person’s voice and relating to their lived experience
3. Understanding the child’s or young person’s lived experience
4. Responding to their voice to improve their lived experience
5. Outcome-focused practice
6. Language that cares

North Somerset Council is evolving and improving its Children’s Services. We seek passionate, creative, experienced, child-centred qualified social workers to join our teams. You will be supported by senior management, with manageable caseloads, reflective supervision, and a supportive environment.

If you are committed to delivering high-quality practice and making a difference, we want to hear from you.

We promote continuous learning, with excellent training opportunities, and use Signs of Safety as our preferred practice approach.

We offer:

• Generous holiday allowance
• Excellent local government pension scheme
• Family-friendly policies and flexible working
• Excellent training opportunities
• Free parking at council offices
• Access to pool cars, bikes, and cycle-to-work schemes
• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme – a 24-hour confidential support service

This position is exempt under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (Exceptions) Order 1975 and is subject to an enhanced DBS check.

Valid driving license and own transport, or alternative suitable travel method, are essential.

This is a permanent position, available full-time or part-time.

About you

To be suitable for this role, you must:

• Be a qualified Social Worker (with Social Work England Registration) passionate about working with children and families to improve outcomes and ensure safety using a strengths-based approach.
• Have sound knowledge of relevant childcare legislation, including 'Working Together to Safeguard Children' and fostering regulations and legislation.
