Surrey's Family Safeguarding teams are focused on building meaningful relationships with families and creating lasting change. We are currently recruiting Advanced Social Workers across the county to help drive excellent practice and provide leadership within our teams.
About the role
As an Advanced Social Worker in our Family Safeguarding service, you'll play a central role in promoting high-quality, strengths-based social work. You'll hold a reduced caseload and take on additional responsibilities that support the wider team, including:
Providing oversight and mentoring to less experienced colleagues
Supporting with practice development and quality assurance
Contributing to reflective discussions and team learning
Acting as a point of contact and support for more complex casework
This is a great opportunity for experienced social workers looking to progress toward supervisory or management roles. In the longer term, we are working towards developing this position into a non-caseholding post, enabling Advanced Social Workers to take on an even greater role in shaping practice and supporting others.
Why choose Surrey?
Surrey County Council is committed to creating the right conditions for you to thrive in your role. You'll benefit from:
A competitive salary and £11,000 market supplement
Flexible working, with only 2 days per week in the office
Office locations with free or subsidised parking
Strong business support so you can focus on social work
Access to innovative tools and training to support your development
Clear career progression pathways into leadership
SWE registration paid for
Car lease scheme and mileage reimbursement
26 days' annual leave, rising to 28 after 2 years
Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)
About you
We're looking for qualified social workers with:
Registration with Social Work England
Substantial post-qualifying experience
A strong understanding of the Family Safeguarding model
Confidence in supporting colleagues and leading by example
A commitment to continuous professional development
The tools to support you
You came into social work to make a difference - not to be buried in bureaucracy. That's why Surrey has invested in smarter systems and streamlined processes - so you can focus on what really matters.

Early intervention and integrated support
Surrey is committed to reducing risk before it escalates. You'll work alongside and be supported by a wide network of early help services, including:
Family Centres
Intensive Family Support Service
Multi-agency support embedded within the Family Safeguarding model
Admin Support
We know good admin support makes a big difference. That's why each team is supported by a dedicated Business Support Officer, and admin is recognised as a valued, professional service.
Clear expectations for quality and timeliness
Specialist sub-teams for support with recruitment and statutory meetings
Current ratio: 1 BSO per 8 Qualified Social Workers
If you're passionate about making a difference and ready to take the next step in your career, we'd love to hear from you.
