About the Role
We are seeking an experienced and skilled Advanced Social Worker to join our Children's Assessment Teams in Devon. As a key member of our team, you will provide professional leadership and supervision to colleagues, supporting your manager with day-to-day team operations and contributing to an effective and efficient service to children and families.
This is a hands-on role, where you will have a smaller but more complex caseload, working with children and young people with a complexity of needs. You will undertake in-depth assessments, share your knowledge and experience with colleagues to continually improve practice standards within the team, and model social work practice that is of a high standard and in line with statutory obligations.
You will also champion restorative practice, encouraging a collaborative culture and supporting opportunities for reflection and learning. You will deliver on-the-job training, coaching, and mentoring to students, unqualified staff, and less experienced colleagues to develop their skills.
About You
We are looking for an individual with substantial post-qualifying experience in children and families social work, who has the expertise and approach to effectively support their colleagues. You will need to be working in line with the BASW PCF framework and have a high-level of written and verbal communication skills.
You will also need to be a Practice Educator or willing to undertake the relevant training at the earliest opportunity.
What We Offer
In return for your vital contribution, we offer a range of benefits, including up to £2,000 annual retention payment, generous annual leave, free onsite parking, and membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme.
We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home. You will also have access to a range of employee well-being services and discounts at over 900 national and local high street retailers.
Relocation Allowance
If you are looking to move to Devon, subject to qualifying conditions, we offer a generous relocation allowance. There has never been a better time to make the move.
