We would like to hear from qualified social workers who are interested in joining our core teams and are particularly interested in hearing from experienced social workers who are interested in joining our expanding Children's Social Work Service. Our social workers work restoratively with children, young people and families by being trauma informed and strengths based, building relationships to understand lived experiences and provide the right support at the right time to enable long term positive change. You will be committed to strong relationship driven practice and have experience in working directly with children and families to enable risks to be identified and managed and to bring about improved outcomes.
As an experienced social worker looking for an opportunity in our Children's Social Work service, you will have experience of working effectively with families where children are on child protection plans, will be confident in working with the PLO and will be looking for the opportunity that Plymouth provides to progress further in practice or to be supported into management opportunities.
In return, we offer a supportive team environment and a service where we offer manageable workloads, high quality support, access to excellent learning and development from our Academy to support you to develop at all stages of your career, and strong multi-disciplinary approaches.
As an experienced social worker in Plymouth, you will have a great opportunity to take your career to the next level as part of the practice improvements we are making and commitment to improving outcomes for children and families.
You must be a qualified social worker, registered with Social Work England and will be committed to the national statutory post qualifying standards for your own continuing professional development, joining an authority where these are nationally recognised as well embedded. You should demonstrate in your written statement key areas of learning and progression in your own journey.
