About the Role
Children’s social care plays a crucial role in supporting the wellbeing of children within our community. Here at Nottingham City Council, we recognise that looking for your next Social Work position is a really important step in your career and we're here to make that transition a positive one.
As a Social Worker in the fieldwork service, you’ll be responsible for providing intervention and support to children and their families where they are receiving help through a Child in Need, Child Protection or Child in Care plan with a focus on enabling families to navigate through challenges and supporting children to grow up in a nurturing environment where their needs are met. You will have the opportunity to build relationships with children and families, taking a strengths based approach to achieve positive outcomes for children.
What makes us a great place to work?
The fieldwork service will offer you the opportunity to work closely with a great team of Social Workers and alternatively qualified workers as well as partner agencies to develop plans and interventions which enable children to be safeguarded from harm and have their needs met.
We're committed to a culture that's both supportive and rewarding, where every day brings new and interesting challenges. You'll have the chance to work with a diverse group of colleagues, children and families, each with their unique stories and needs, making your role as a Social Worker a life-changing experience.
