Galashiels, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom Scottish Borders Council Full time
About the Role:

We are expanding our Children and Families Social Work teams in the Scottish Borders to provide timely, effective, empowering, and relationship-based responses to children, young people, and families. This includes introducing an increased and more responsive staffing model within the Duty Intake Team.

As a Social Work Assistant, you will play a critical role in supporting families to address challenges and achieve positive outcomes. You will work collaboratively with colleagues, families, and other stakeholders to develop and implement personalized support plans that promote independence, choice, rights, dignity, and privacy.

A key aspect of this role is promoting the five core values of our organization: independence, choice, rights, dignity, and privacy. You will be required to apply these values to your work, demonstrating a commitment to person-centered practice and community-led approaches.

To succeed in this role, you will need to be highly motivated, with a passion for empowering families and promoting positive change. A current driving license and use of a vehicle are essential requirements for this position, allowing you to travel across the region to meet with families and deliver support services effectively.

The salary for this position is approximately £32,000 - £34,500 per annum, reflecting the essential requirement for a current driving license. If you have a disability which precludes you from holding a driver's licence, we will consider reasonable adjustments to allow you to undertake the travel responsibilities of the post.
