Apply professional judgement and creativity to identify bespoke, innovative solutions to complex family needs.

Qualified social worker with a recognised qualification (BA/MA in Social Work, DipSW, CQSW, etc.).
*
Registered with Social Work England (Provided Registration Number)
*
Significant post-qualification experience in a statutory children’s social care setting.

Strong understanding of child development, family dynamics, and safeguarding frameworks.

Experience managing complex cases and working within legal frameworks and court proceedings.

Excellent communication, analytical, and organisational skills.
Desirable

Supervisory experience, particularly supporting ASYE or student placements.
Working Arrangements
