"Ihave been a social worker at many local authorities across the UK and overseas in Australia and, without a shadow of doubt, East Sussex is the best place I have worked

Join ourorganisation based in thehistorical town of Lewes, surrounded by the beautiful South Downs. At ESCC we provide extensive support to our social workers and deliver high-quality relationship-based practice to our children and families.

Work with an organisation who possess clear vision, strong leadership and help to create an environment of stability and security for families. We prioritise and focus on the quality of social work practice rather than processes and procedures.

We all know that writing job applications can be challenging and time-consuming, so we have streamlined the process as much as possible. The main areas we want you to tell us about are:

Being brief and to the point, with some examples, is the way to go

Our unparalleled social work education team are dedicated to supporting our social workers grow and develop within and beyond their roles.

We are looking for candidates who are able to engage effectively using creativity, compassion and authority to overcome resistance and build relationships. Undertake assessment and analysis to a high standard on complex cases informed by research and theory and linking to child’s plan and be able to promote and provide guidance and challenge on positive approaches to diversity in the organisation addressing discrimination.
