The Service & Team:
Social workers make a real difference to the lives of children in Cornwall. We believe that the children of Cornwall deserve the very best.

If you believe in humane, relationship-based social work with children and families we offer the opportunity to develop your social work career in an innovative and ambitious children's service in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.
As part of our commitment to outstanding practice, we have put in place a comprehensive core curriculum and career and qualification pathway for our social workers to develop their knowledge and skills to deliver the most effective social work intervention with children and families. If you are committed to continuing professional development, can demonstrate learning in your practice and in improved outcomes for the children you help and protect, we will provide you with the career options and remuneration that match your expertise.
We actively encourage the best practitioners to remain in front line practice and reward them for their commitment and expertise. Our Advanced Practitioner roles are aligned to the Professional Capabilities Framework, and the Knowledge and Skills Statement for Practice Supervisors.
