If you advocate for compassionate, relationship-focused social work with children and families, we provide a platform for you to advance your career within an innovative and ambitious children's service.

To ensure exceptional practice, we have established a comprehensive core curriculum and a clear career progression pathway for our social workers, enabling them to enhance their knowledge and skills for effective interventions with children and families. If you are dedicated to ongoing professional development and can demonstrate improvements in your practice and outcomes for the children you serve, we will offer you career opportunities and compensation that reflect your expertise.

We actively encourage top practitioners to remain in frontline roles and recognize their commitment and expertise. The Consultant Social Worker position is one of two Advanced Practitioner roles in Cornwall, aligned with the Professional Capabilities Framework and the Knowledge and Skills Statement for Practice Supervisors.
