Make an impact where it matters the most – Children's Social Work in Devon.
About Us
We're on an exciting and ambitious journey of cultural change. We're continuing to embed and relational ways of working. We believe that for most families, the family home is the best place for children to live and thrive.
We're proud of our workforce and what we are achieving for children and families in Devon. Our social work teams are committed to providing the best service possible and are supported by our ambitious culture.
About the role
Bring your skills and passion to our team and join us as an Advanced Social Worker in our Fostering Supervision and Support Service. This is a great opportunity to grow your social work career with an ambitious authority at a time of exciting change. We’ve embedded our restorative practice approach across our teams and have invested in training our all practitioners and managers to build and maintain positive relationships with our children, young people and carers.
Working closely with your Team Manager, you will provide professional leadership and supervision to colleagues within your team, supporting your manager with the day-to-day operations of your team and contributing to an effective and efficient service to children and families.
This is a hands-on role, where you have a smaller but more complex caseload, working with children and young people with a complexity of needs (including undertaking in-depth assessments) and where, through supervision and mentoring, you will share your knowledge and experience with colleagues and students to continually improve practice standards within your team.
You will champion high standards of professional social work practice, by encouraging and supporting opportunities for reflection and learning and delivering on-the-job training, coaching, and mentoring to unqualified/alternatively qualified staff, students, and less experienced social workers.

You will have substantial post-qualifying experience and the ability to demonstrate that you’re working at the Advanced Social Worker level in line with the BASW PCF framework. You will work holistically with foster families, supporting children with complex needs within a multi-agency environment. You will have evidence of substantial post-qualifying training and development, displaying knowledge and experience of social work mentoring, coaching, and training professional colleagues. You will champion improvement and challenge the quality of social care practice in a constructive manner. You will also need to either be a Practice Educator or willing to undertake the relevant training at the earliest opportunity.
Your skills and experience will include:
A social work qualification and registration with Social Work England Satisfactory completion of your Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) Experience working within social care, including working in a multi-agency and court environment A high-level of written and verbal communication skills* The ability to build effective professional relationships with children, families, and other professionals Knowledge and understanding of the legislation, models, and theories relevant to children’s social work Exceptional recording and planning skills A valid UK driving licence and access to a car** Exceptions may apply under the Equality Act
What’s in it for you?
In return for the vital contribution that you make, we have some fantastic employee benefits available, including:
Up to £2,000 annual retention payment (£1,000 paid every six months) Generous annual leave Free onsite parking Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee well-being services Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home Discounts at over 900 national & local high street retailers through our benefits platform Cycle to work scheme Electric Vehicle salary sacrifice schemeIf you are looking to move to Devon, subject to qualifying conditions, we offer a generous relocation allowance.
