Job description

Commutable from England | 1-2 Days a Week in County | Loyalty Bonus | Great Location - Commutable from Bristol | No Micromanagement

Are you currently looking for a flexible contract based in South East Wales? With the warmer weather here, you may be looking for a role that offers the flexibility to enjoy a better work-life balance and spend more time outside of work.

We are currently looking for an experienced Locality Team Social Worker to join a well-regarded authority in South Wales. This practitioner will become part of a supportive locality team, managing a varied caseload that includes children and families requiring assessment, support, child protection, and care planning interventions.

The team promotes a collaborative approach, with cases shared fairly across practitioners to ensure workloads remain manageable. You will have the opportunity to work across a mix of short and long-term cases while benefiting from a flexible and supportive working environment.

Because of this, you will enjoy greater autonomy in managing your diary, allowing for a healthier work-life balance while delivering high-quality outcomes for children and families.

What are the benefits of this role?

• Manageable caseload
• Exclusive loyalty bonuses to supplement your pay (+£1-3/hour)
• Quality of service - we work when it works for you, not when office hours dictate (over 500 5 Google reviews)
• The UK's leading 'refer a friend' bonus of £500
• Strong work-life balance
• Market-leading timesheet system - making Fridays easier when it comes to getting paid
• Flexible working arrangements with only 1-2 days per week required in the county

With flexible working hours, you can organise your casework more effectively, spend more time with family and loved ones, and produce high-quality work in a structured and less pressured environment.

If this role isn't quite right for you, but you know a friend or colleague who may be interested, we're offering a market-leading referral fee of £500 per placement. Simply get in touch to find out more.

As this is a statutory position, you must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Care Wales.
