The team carry small caseloads and work intensively with families and other professionals - especially colleagues in CAMH. We are passionate, innovative and creative in our approach.

This is a rewarding role where you’ll have the opportunity to develop your existing knowledge and understanding of child development and issues of family dynamics.

You’ll be able to practice manage cases in line with national quality standards and best practice.

We do ask that you have Dip SW, CQSW, or a recognised equivalent professional qualification.

We’re a small borough with a real family feel. So when you join us, we’ll really look after you.
