East Dereham, Norfolk, United Kingdom Norfolk County Council Full time

Three posts | permanent contracts | 37 hours per week | £35,411 to £43,517 per annum depending on role and experience (Grade J/K) | Norfolk

_We want you to have a brilliant social work/life balance here in Breckland, Norfolk _
Hi, I'm Lisa Hilson, Service Manager for the Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC) Service.

I have worked with Norfolk County Council for five years, as well as having worked in other counties in the East of England, and across Children's Services.

As part of the UASC service development plan we are looking to expand our social care teams. We therefore have several opportunities within the service.


We have increased our service to four social care teams to ensure we can continue to offer a committed and outstanding service to our children and young people.

I am proud of the service and continued commitment to improving the outcomes for children.

The service is very friendly and supportive, and we have built a service culture which nurtures development, creativity, and child centred practice.

Our current two team managers really support their teams and the work they do to achieve positive outcomes for our young people.

Right now, I'm looking for four dedicated Social Workers to work in our Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children's (UASC) Teams. I hope that you will have extensive experience working with vulnerable children/young people both under 16 yrs. and yr. olds.

It would be beneficial if you have experience working with UASC, LAC or Leaving Care but it is not essential as we will be able to offer training and support.

This is an exciting service in Norfolk which continues to develop and grow.

You will be part of developing the working practices within the teams as well as working closely with partner agencies to develop a robust, positive offer to those children and young people entering Norfolk (the UK) for the first time.

We offer a friendly and supportive environment and look forward to welcoming dedicated and experienced social work professionals.

Norfolk is a fantastic place to live and work. We are a countywide team, but our main base is in Dereham in the Breckland area. However, we do use Norwich as a base for team meetings also.

We are a hybrid service although encourage teams and workers to meet regularly in office spaces which are hybrid friendly.

Breckland is a particularly beautiful part of Norfolk. Predominately rural but with not too much travelling across the area for our teams.

The area has easy access to the A11 and the A47 and within easy reach of the city of Norwich.

Thetford is home to the beautiful Thetford Forest with an array of activities on offer, from cycling to open air concerts.

Dereham is a traditional market town with numerous restaurants and shops.


If you're an experienced social work professional and like the sound of working in Breckland, I'd love to hear from you.

These are some benefits you can enjoy by working for Norfolk County Council:

  • Competitive salary
  • Generous holiday entitlement with the ability to buy and sell leave
  • Health and Wellbeing services including fasttrack physiotherapy and a free counselling service
  • Flexible working opportunities including flexitime, part time, remote and hybrid working dependant on your job role and business need.
  • Financial benefits such as:
- ' Norfolk Rewards' our employee discounts programme which helps you save money on almost anything, from everyday groceries and clothes, to holidays, new technology, gym membership, trips to the cinema and days out.

  • A Blue Light card for Fire Service and Social Care Workers
  • Relocation expenses paid upfront (where applicable)
  • An advance of your expenses if you travel for work
  • Local Government Pension Scheme with generous employer contribution, life assurance, death in service payments and dependants' pensions.
  • A payment if you refer someone you know to a hard to fill job.
  • Tax efficient ways of getting extra pension, new bikes and electric cars.


Before you apply, we recommend reading the full Job Description and Person Specification to help you demonstrate you meet the criteria.

You can also find information on our Terms and Conditions here.

Closing date: 30 March 2023
