2 months ago

Ilford, United Kingdom Barnardos Full time

We have a great opportunity for a social worker to join our dedicated adoption team. We are looking for a passionate individual who is dedicated to supporting and improving the outcomes of the children and families we work with. We have an experienced team who are consistently striving to learn and grow as a service and are looking for someone who is open to learning and developing their skills and knowledge as a social worker.

The successful candidate will join our Adoption team as a Social Worker, who is registered with Care Inspectorate Wales to recruit, train and assess Prospective and Approved Adoptive Parents. The post holder will also provide pre and post placement support to families. This includes further training for adoptive parents to meet the assessed needs of children.

When completing your application please refer to your skills, knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification, Job Description and Additional Information document (if applicable). This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described.

NB: Whilst the Job Description makes reference to Family Placement, this role is specifically for a Social Worker in the Adoption Service.

The Social work post will be based within a Pan-Wales Service, with hybrid working you will have the flexibility to organise work priorities with work/life balance as we pride ourselves on providing all workers with a friendly, safe, and supportive environment to work in.

About Barnardo's

At Barnardo's we believe in children – no matter who they are, what they have done or what they have been through. Please read about our basis and values following the link below. You will be asked questions relating to them as part of the recruitment process for this role.

Barnardo's is committed to having a diverse and inclusive workforce for staff and volunteers. We actively encourage applications from disabled, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic and male candidates as they are under-represented within Barnardo's.

Please note due to the high volume of applications for some posts, this advert might close before the displayed closing date. We recommend that you apply for this role as soon as possible.

Pay & Reward Framework

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's . We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people. 

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay. 

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
