As a service we will need to be flexible to the needs of the Service Users we serve. We will also be flexible to the needs of our staff. The service will allow staff to work flexibly and in return staff will offer flexibility over when they deliver interventions. The service operates between Monday Friday 7am 10pm, with the bulk of the interventions taking place between 9am - 5pm. Staff hours areflexible within this, depending on service users needs.Most staff work one evening and take that time back during the week.The service is supportive of our staff and responsive to staffs need. Working with intense emotions is often challenging and this is why Sequoia will have excellent supervision and training built into the model for all staff. The service has started in North Somerset and has expanded to South Gloucestershire. Then moving into Bristol in the next few months, using a phased approach. Staff will have a focus on certain geographical areas and whilst also being prepared to travel within BNSSG as needed. The base for this post is currently Callington Road, this is an administrative base, as most of the work will be done from home or within community buildings.Sequoia is an incredibly exciting project, which has the permission to do things differently. We welcome dedicated people from all backgrounds who would like to join us on this journey. Please do get in touch before applying. This post is open to newly qualified social workers. In line with AWP trust policy all newly qualified social workers (NQSW) will be recruited initially at Band 5 level, regardless of advertised role banding. All NQSWs are expected to successfully complete their ASYE within 2 years of employment, unless there are exceptional circumstances in which case it may be extended for a further 2 years. If you have been appointed to an advertised Band 6 role this will be an automatic progression, following confirmation of your successful ASYE completion. If you have been appointed to a Band 5 post you will then be eligible to apply for a subsequent Band 6 vacancy upon successful ASYE completion.
