You will have the opportunity to practice innovative and creative social work with a small caseload of young people and their families, focusing on prevention and reunification.

  • The ability to work collaboratively with families in crisis, de-escalating situations and finding safe solutions for young people.
  • The skills and attitude to undertake responsive duty visits to families where youth homelessness is a risk.
  • The ability to work with looked-after young people until a minimum of first review.

We offer a comprehensive rewards package including flexible working and flexitime, membership of the Local Government Pension scheme, and a generous annual leave allowance.
