As the Principal Social Worker, you will provide leadership and professional support to social workers and be responsible for the development of social work practice and practice systems, promoting best practice which positively responds and supports practitioners and the Council to meet the individual needs of children, young people and their families in the city.

You will lead and support the delivery of developing a sufficient, sustainable, diverse, and inclusive workforce.
