Welcome Payment of 5% of overall salary (pro-rata for part-time roles):

Retention Payments of £2,000 Payable

Relocation Package of up to £8,000 available

About the Team


If your passion is around collaborative work with families, centred on building relationships in order to help families develop resilience and make changes for their children, then we are the Local Authority for you.

Working with families to keep children at home wherever possible, our dynamic teams work with families from point of contact through to long term support and intervention.

Our practice model is underpinned by relationship-based, systemic approaches to facilitate change, alongside trauma informed practice.


Bath & North East Somerset Childrens Social Care are an innovative small Local Authority focused on therapeutic assessment and support.

Rated Good by OFSTED, with continued vision and drive to improve further.


An exciting opportunity has arisen for
a Senior Social Work Practitioner (with a Social Work qualification) to join one of our Family Support Teams, within the Safeguarding Outcomes Service.

We are committed to being a dynamic and creative Local Authority, working hard to think differently about how we approach our work with families.

We are deeply committed to providing tailored high-quality services and well thought out interventions to families to keep children safe.

Our practice is values-driven with a strong ethos of child-focused interventions.

About the Role


You will work in partnership with an enthusiastic hub consisting of a Team Manager, Deputy Team Manager, Senior Practitioners, Social Workers, Family Support Practitioners and administrative staff.

The Social Worker will manage their own caseload, which will include children and families with complex needs.

You will be able to evidence a strong ability to analyse information and formulate outcome focused plans for children and families, as well as a commitment to driving forward care plans and legal work to protect children and promote childrens outcomes through permanency.

Applicants must be confident in writing professional assessments/reports as well as presenting their evidence verbally, including in court proceedings.

Applicants need to have very strong organisational skills to manage and prioritise their work effectively and in a timely way, and will be committed to working as part of a team to support colleagues in delivering optimum services to children and families.


As a senior practitioner, you will have an opportunity to develop your supervisory skills through supervision of a Family Support Practitioner, as well as being able to access Practice Educator Professional Standards (PEPS) training to support a student social worker, or taking on a mentoring role for newly qualified social workers on the ASYE programme from other teams.


About You

  • A relevant social work qualification
  • At least 2 years social work experience
  • Knowledge of the legislative framework that governs childrens services
