About the Role

What makes us a great place to work?
The fieldwork service offers the opportunity to work closely with a great team of Social Workers and partner agencies to develop plans and interventions that enable children to be safeguarded from harm and have their needs met.
We are committed to a culture that's both supportive and rewarding, where every day brings new and interesting challenges. You'll have the chance to work with a diverse group of colleagues, children, and families, making your role as a Social Worker a life-changing experience.
