**Want to take the next step in your career?**

Kent County Council’s Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking (UAS) Children’s Service provides accommodation and support to newly arrived unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in Kent. The Service leads on social work practice with unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in Kent, which Ofsted recognises as Outstanding. The Service is developing as a centre of excellence for social work practice nationally and we are seeking passionate social workers to join us on this journey.

This is an opportunity to work in a Service where you will be responding to newly arrived unaccompanied asylum-seeking children; you will support them on the start of the journey in the UK and ensure that their voice is heard.

You will have the opportunity to consider your career progression, working in the UAS children’s service will allow you to manage a complex case load, supervise social worker assistants and have the opportunity to act as a duty senior to enhance your management skills. You will develop skills in age assessments, working with children in care, managing child protection concerns and interagency working with key partners.

As a senior practitioner in the service, you will work across Kent, and will also have the opportunity to work nationally across the UK both with other Local Authorities under the National Transfer Scheme. In addition, you could be part of exploring family that our young persons have in the UK and consider family reunifications and whether these are viable; thus allowing you to network nationally as part of your role.

We support our social workers to ensure they have the resources they need to make a difference where it counts. Kent is the ideal place to progress your career.

You will also receive the excellent training and all the great benefits that come with working for Kent County Council.

**Our Offer includes**
- Full induction
- Manageable caseloads
- A minimum of 5 day's training each year
- Annual leave allowance of 29 to 30 days (plus bank holidays and an extra day off at Christmas)
