Social Worker - Locality team

South Yorkshire Area | Hybrid Working ( 1-2 days in area )  | Loyalty Bonus | Excellent Local Authority | No Micromanagement

Are you currently looking for a flexible contract within the South Yorkshire area? With the warmer months here, you may be looking for a role that offers greater flexibility and a healthier work-life balance.

We are currently looking for an experienced Locality Team Social Worker to join a well-regarded local authority in South Yorkshire. This practitioner will become part of a supportive locality team, managing a varied caseload involving children and families requiring assessment, support, child protection, and care planning interventions.

The team promotes a collaborative approach, with cases distributed fairly across practitioners to ensure workloads remain manageable. You will work with a mixture of short and long-term cases while benefiting from a flexible and supportive environment that prioritises high-quality practice.

Because of this, you will have greater autonomy over your diary, allowing you to balance your professional responsibilities with your personal commitments while delivering positive outcomes for children and families.

What are the benefits of this role?

Manageable caseload
Quality of service – we work when it works for you, not when office hours dictate (over 500 5? Google reviews)
The UK's leading ‘refer a friend’ bonus of £500
Strong work-life balance
Market-leading timesheet system – making Fridays easier when it comes to getting paid
Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
Supportive management team and collaborative working culture

With flexible working arrangements, you can organise your casework more effectively, spend more time with family and loved ones, and produce high-quality work in a structured and less pressured environment.

If this role isn't quite right for you, but you know a friend or colleague who may be interested, we're offering a market-leading referral fee of £500 per placement. Simply get in touch to find out more.

As this is a statutory position, you must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England.
