Senior Social Worker - Children with Disabilities

Regular Reflective Supervision | Stable Team & Management | Manageable Caseload | Hybrid | Career Progression Opportunities

Are you keen to progress your career as a practitioner in children's services, but finding opportunities with your current employer limited?

Annual salary - up to £45,718

Welcome and retention payments of £6000 in year 1

We're partnered with Gloucestershire County Council on a great opportunity for an experienced practitioner to join the Children with Disabilities team as a Senior Social Worker on a permanent basis.

The team is small but has a strong reputation for stability, with vacancies rarely cropping up within the service. This close-knit team is supported by a super supportive senior management structure, who are all with the authority on a permanent basis and will endeavor to make you feel at home from day 1 – giving you time to settle in and focus on building relationships with the children and families involved in the service, as well as the team around you.

The package also includes:

• Welcome payment of £4000
• Annual retention payment of £2000
• 25.5 days annual leave, increasing to 30.5 days after 5 years continuous service
• Flexible working options to help keep a good work-life balance
• Learning and development opportunities for career progression
• Regular reflective supervision

The CwD service is very stable, so you can expect a manageable workload, with cases split evenly across the service. This council is seeking someone who wants to continue to progress their career, with a very realistic route into management and regular opportunities for further career progression on offer. Many of the existing senior management team have progressed through the ranks, so the progression is there to see!

As this is a statutory role, you do require a social work qualification & registration to Social Work England.
