The work is varied and challenging and there is strong ethos of adaptability and innovation in the teams. There is an emphasis on professional development and promotion of excellent practice and this is an ideal opportunity for career progression within an integrated organisation offering great progression pathways and training opportunities. There is a comprehensive Learning and development programme offering the opportunity to develop specialisms such as Practice Educator, Consultant Social Worker and AMHP and you will be enrolled in the Social Work Learning Academy on commencement of your role. For aspiring managers there is access to additional training opportunities and the potential to move to more senior roles as your career progresses. Due to the impact of Covid we have changed the way we work with more flexible and remote working and we are working to a hybrid model at present, with part-remote and flexible options available in line with our service needs. This gives our Social Workers a quiet space and plenty of time for reflection. It has also increased our Social Workers autonomy and has a positive impact on wellbeing and work-life balance.
