Supervising Social Worker

Are you a social work practitioner who wants to make a difference to children and young people through direct work with them and their foster families. As a small not for profit agency we provide high levels of support to our foster families to ensure that the children and young people meet their full potential. 

We are delighted to be in a position to offer a highly driven, child centred Social Worker the opportunity to train in our therapeutic model but also bring a new dynamic to a small team of highly skilled colleagues. 

If this sounds like you and you want to work for an agency that believes in role growth, support and care and you have a suitable qualification in social work we would love to hear from you.

If you would like an informal chat or have any questions our Fostering Manager, Sarah Richardson,  would welcome a telephone call with you. You’ll:

  • be keen to train in and model our therapeutic model of care, and support foster parents to apply the skills and knowledge they learn in their day to day practice
  • have a suitable Social Work qualification
  • be registered with Social Work England
  • be happy to have an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check completed for the role

What are you waiting for? Join an agency that cares about children, and cares about you. Give Sarah Richardson a call on 01429 891444 for an informal chat or fill in a brief first stage application form at https://form.jotform.com/233374130372348.
