About you:
As a Social Worker for AfC, you should be passionate about making a positive difference to the lives of children and young people.

  • An active Social Work England registration.

This role is a great opportunity to make a significant impact in the lives of children and young people. If you meet these qualifications and are committed to this important work, we would love to hear from you.
Benefits:
You will have access to a wide range of resources, a competitive salary, and the perks of remote work. As part of the AfC team, you will also have access to:
  • 29 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 33 days after 2 years and 35 days after four years of continuous service.
  • Managers who recognise the complexity of cases and load, value hard work, provide reassurance, build confidence, and facilitate career development and progression opportunities.
  • Free parking at your main place of work.
  • A Local Government salary and pension scheme (LGPS or Teachers Pension).
  • A travel assistance package for business use, including car mileage reimbursement, an annual season ticket loan, or access to the cycle to work scheme.
  • A laptop, phone, and systems so you can work remotely, enabling hybrid working.
  • Flexible working options to help maintain a good work-life balance.
  • A minimum of 12 protected Development Days each year for all staff.
  • A comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme.
  • A range of staff discounts with national retailers and well-known brands.
  • A huge range of additional professional development opportunities as part of our regional Social Work Teaching Partnership.

This comprehensive benefits package is designed to support your professional growth and personal well-being while you make a positive difference in the lives of children and young people.
