Frontline Consultant Social Worker

2 weeks ago


Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom Bristol City Council Full time £30,000 - £45,000 per year

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a confident, experienced Social Worker to be our Frontline Consultant Social Worker in North Bristol. This is a fixed term post to cover maternity leave.

Pay increase currently under review

Also known as a Consultant Social Worker (CSW), the Frontline Consultant Social Worker (FCSW) role is pivotal to the participants' first year on the programme. Each FCSW is responsible for five participants who are undertaking their Postgraduate Diploma in Social Work. FCSWs work with participants using a practice hub model approach – a systemic practice model for working with families, with cases managed through weekly hub meetings. These meetings provide a dynamic learning environment and a reflective space to think systemically about the cases in the hub.

The FCSW role offers those who wish to remain in practice the opportunity to do so alongside the chance to take on supervisory and management responsibility for a small team. For more information about the exact responsibilities of a FCSW, please see the Job Description and Person Specification in the job pack attached.

What will I get from the role?

The Consultant Social Worker position offers the opportunity to:

  • Step up to a management-level role without leaving practice.
  • Access a high-quality systemic training programme.
  • Receive support and mentoring from one of Frontline's practice tutors.
  • Influence and shape practice and practice education, across your local authority.

Learn more in the consultant social worker job pack.

How to apply:

  • Complete the application form. A panel of representatives from Frontline and your local authority will anonymously score the applications. These scores will be considered in the overall hiring decision, should you progress to the next stage.

  • Attend an interview

  • If shortlisted, complete a role play and interview

The closing date for applications is Sunday 7th December, The job interviews will be taking place on the 16th December. These will be held online (via teams).

Please note that this role is subject to an Enhanced DBS Check.

For permanent Bristol City Council employees, this post will be a secondment.

For employees who are currently on a fixed term contract with Bristol City Council, the secondment must not extend beyond the end of the fixed term period to ensure there is a substantive post to return to.

If you are working for Bristol City Council as a casual worker or a member of an employment agency, or if you are not currently employed by Bristol City Council, this post will be a fixed term contract.
