Do you possess excellent interpersonal abilities and a commitment to ensuring that the rights of children and young people are protected?

Are you guided by a strong Human Rights framework in your professional practice and eager to make a difference for children and young people who require a knowledgeable and principled advocate?

Can you thrive in a dynamic environment and adapt to emerging Risks and Needs as they arise?

Barnardo's NI, through the Independent Guardian Service, is looking to recruit a qualified and experienced Social Worker to join our regional Independent Guardian team.

This position is specifically targeted for our Western locality, and the successful candidate will primarily operate within the Western Health and Social Care Trust areas and Northern Health and Social Care Trust areas (though there may be occasions to work in other regions based on service requirements and capacity).

While this role is designated for the Western and Northern Health and Social Care Trust areas, a waiting list will be established for successful candidates who may be offered positions in other areas of the region.

An information session for interested candidates will be organized to provide further insights into the role.

Pay & Reward Framework

We recognize that our team members go above and beyond in fulfilling our essential mission, driven by their dedication and commitment to Barnardo's. We also understand that our success in achieving better outcomes for more children relies on the talent, hard work, and creativity of our staff.

For these reasons, we are dedicated to a new approach to compensation and benefits, ensuring it is equitable, appealing, and progressive, which was implemented in April 2023. This initiative represents a positive shift for the charity and is part of our strategic vision. It will help us support our colleagues in their professional journey at Barnardo's and ultimately provide clear pathways for advancement in both career and compensation.

While the complete pay band and salary range are advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay increments are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contributions to excellence and alignment with our values and behaviors.
