As a Children with disabilities 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.

• The Council CAN pay Sponsorship but you must have 2 years experience within the UK

The Council is dedicated to providing timely support for every child, aiming to ensure a happy and fulfilling life.

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.
