Shropshire Council’s Children’s Social Care and Safeguarding service is growing. We’re investing in everything from new staff to new ways of working, so that our brilliant teams can do what they do best: care for the children of Shropshire. We believe that when we treat children and young people with respect, love, trust and encouragement, we give children every opportunity to grow. No wonder Ofsted rate us as ‘good’.
We’re committed to growing and investing in our staff, too. Join us, and we’ll support you to make the most of your ambitions, so that you grow and develop as part of a team who share your passion.
Who we’re looking for
Right now, we’re looking for more fantastic children’s social workers, either qualified or soon-to-be-qualified. You’ll enjoy a varied caseload, working with children and families to ensure children are safe and happy in the long-term. We’ll give you every opportunity to hold a family through to permanence, whether that means closure, step down to Early Help, adoption or transfer to the Looked After Children team. Wherever you join us, you’ll thrive in an environment of mutual support and respect, and where best practice is absolutely encouraged.
