Social Worker - Throughcare & Aftercare - ABS

Job Description

Shape futures. Build relationships. Make a difference.

We are looking for a Social Worker to join our Through care & Aftercare (TCAC) team, supporting care experienced young people as they move into adulthood.

This is a role at the heart of corporate parenting. You will work alongside young people aged 16-26, offering consistent, practical and relational support as they navigate the move from care to independence.

This is a genuinely rewarding role. You'll work with young people who are ready to engage, and those who aren t sure yet - helping them to see what s possible and supporting them to get there.

If you want a role that challenges you, allows you to think creatively and gives you the chance to make a real difference, we would love to hear from you.

This post is advertised as full-time, permanent. However, there is flexibility to discuss part-time working, including as a split post where it could be shared between part time workers. The base location is also flexible, as TCAC is a shire-wide, dispersed team.

Please see the attached document for more information about the role.
