• A recognised Social Work qualification and current Social Work England registration.
• Post-qualifying experience within Children's Social Care.
• Strong assessment, analytical, and decision-making skills.

• A clear commitment to relationship-based and strengths-led practice.

• A £6,000 Golden Hello alongside a competitive salary.
• Supportive leadership and a strong culture of reflective supervision.
• Manageable caseloads with a focus on quality and purposeful social work.
• Excellent training, development, and career progression opportunities.
• Hybrid working arrangements and a genuine commitment to work-life balance.
