Child Protection Social Worker

For the child protection social workers who are due for a change of scenery and want to start on a clean slate, this opportunity may be the one for you. Whether you have experience in child protection, looked after children, or referral and assessment. A local authority in the East Midlands are looking for good quality workers to help them in the Child Protection Team, with a pay rate of £37 per hour. You will be holding a steady caseload of up to 22 cases, and this will be reduced greatly after your first month due to an influx of new starters that are due to start this next week. What’s also great about the role is the training that can be provided for agency staff, as the council are keen for you to further develop your skills to implement into everyday practice. Management in the local authority have been there longer than the furniture, which I find to be a very appealing aspect for social workers who are looking at longevity when choosing their next role. They  have a clear vison and its refreshing to see how they want to work with the Social Workers to overturn the challenges that most councils are facing in the current climate. Leaders in Care can offer exclusive rates along with a service that has received 600+  5* Google reviews – this means weekly check ins, support on your placement, and a market leading timesheet & payroll system that means Fridays are no longer a stress of refreshing your bank to see if your money is coming!
