You will be:
A qualified and registered Social Worker
Experienced – with at least 3 years in frontline statutory child protection
Confident in leading investigations, chairing multi-agency meetings, and navigating high-risk cases
A clear communicator, able to collaborate with multiple partners under pressure

Why Choose Hillingdon?
A forward-thinking, supportive workplace culture
A role that gives you true influence in child protection outcomes
Opportunities to shape service delivery at a borough-wide level
No traditional line management responsibilities - just pure practice leadership
