  • Proven experience of working with children and families, particularly those who have experienced adverse life events or trauma.
  • An in-depth understanding of Children's social work legislation and a willingness to learn and develop as a practitioner.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with adolescents, their families, and other professionals.
What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary, a generous retention package, and a car allowance. In addition, we provide opportunities for professional development, including evidenced-based training in case formulation, contextual safeguarding, and trauma-informed approaches. We also offer clinical supervision and flexible working arrangements to support your work-life balance.
