You will work closely with colleagues from multiple professions to ensure that the voice of the child is always heard. This is an exciting opportunity to have a genuine impact on the local authority and help improve and protect the children and young people within it.

We recognise the importance of feeling valued as a Social Worker and ensure that we celebrate staff achievements, give shout outs to recognise good practice and promote a working environment where staff feel valued, supported and developed in their role.
