Support and Safeguarding Service - Empowering Families, Protecting Futures
Our North team based in Chippenham invites qualified Social Workers to embark on a rewarding journey where you'll make a meaningful impact on the lives of vulnerable children and families.
Our Social Workers are pivotal in supporting Wiltshire's vulnerable children, from pre-birth to age 18. We operate on a patch-based model, matching families with your expertise and chosen patch.
We prioritise flexibility, offering various work locations and hotdesking opportunities to facilitate collaboration with safeguarding teams and services.
At our core, we believe in a 'one journey, one worker' approach, providing consistent support through dedicated relationships. Our diverse team includes ASYEs, Experienced Social Workers, Family Keyworkers, and an Assistant Team Manager.
Collaboration is central to our work, as you'll partner with professionals and multi-agency teams. We care about your well-being, offering flexible work arrangements such as a 9-day fortnight, compressed hours, full or part-time positions, and job shares. Social workers registered with Social Work England are welcome, and we support social workers who would like to return with our supportive Return to Social Work program. A minimum of two years' safeguarding experience is essential, along with an in-depth knowledge of the Children Act 1989 and the Children Act 2004. Due to the rural nature of Wiltshire, a full driving license and access to a car are required.
We promote a culture of continuous learning, encouraging your professional growth and contributions to your peers. Join us in making a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families amidst Wiltshire's stunning countryside.
