A competitive starting salary, a £3,000 one-off payment upon successful completion of GETS, and a range of professional development opportunities. You'll also benefit from strong collaborative working relationships and a network of multi-agency hubs.

Requirements

We're looking for Newly Qualified Social Workers who are passionate about delivering high-quality social work services. You'll need to meet the travel requirements of the role, which may include a full driving licence and access to a car. Reasonable adjustments will be considered for declared disabilities.
