Passionate Social Workers Required across Lincolnshire

Are you an experienced, committed and innovative Social Worker? Do you believe that “Putting Children First” is the key to successful outcomes for children and families? If you can answer yes to both questions, then Lincolnshire County Council may just be the place you belong.

Childrens Social Work at Lincolnshire County Council

Our Childrens Social Work teams are amongst the absolute best in the country. We have an overall Outstanding rating from Ofsted and in our recent inspection in April 2023 we maintained this judgement which we are very proud of. We are not about to let up on our progress and development though! As an organisation we are extremely proud of the work our teams undertake and this pride shines through from every member of the teams.

Our practice model is “Signs of Safety” and this is underpinned by a firm commitment to restorative practice, working in a way where the strengths of the family and their network are honoured and families are supported to develop their own solutions. Most importantly, we believe the voice of the child should be at the very heart of every plan.

About Our Offer

We believe that supporting emotional resilience is always important, but particularly so when you are working with the most complex and challenging of cases.

You will receive monthly formal professional and case supervision, and take part in monthly group learning and team meetings with an annual team development day too. Our managers are always on hand, and our practitioners say that the informal, ad hoc supervision they receive, plus the support they get from colleagues to test out their thinking, is absolutely invaluable.

Your continued professional development will be as important to us as it is to you, and your learning and development will remain in focus, not just during your annual appraisal. Our offer of complimentary access to the Research in Practice online platform further demonstrates this. Alongside our excellent in-house training offer, you will also have the opportunity to complete fully funded PQ modules.

Along with a competitive salary of £44,253 £48,738 +15% for FAST we also offer;

A Contributory pension.

Comprehensive benefits package including excellent discount schemes and cycle to work.

Flexible working policies.

Career progression opportunities..

A generous annual leave entitlement plus the option to buy more

Further details can be found in our rewards and benefits brochure attached.

Interviews: 14th October 2026
