Senior Social Worker - Safeguarding

Beautiful County | 6-Month Rolling Contract | Loyalty Bonus | Flexible Working | Expenses Covered

Are you a passionate Social Worker looking for a role where you’re trusted, supported, and genuinely able to make a difference?

This is an opportunity to join a well-established local authority in a stunning county location, where manageable caseloads, supportive leadership, and flexible working are the norm — not the exception.

You’ll be part of a collaborative Children & Families team working within the Family Safeguarding Model to protect children, empower families, and deliver lasting positive outcomes.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Competitive hourly rate (flexible depending on experience)
• 6-month rolling contract – stability without long-term tie-in
• Flexible working – hybrid model with home working encouraged
• Supportive and approachable management team
• Manageable caseloads
• Loyalty bonus for committed service
• Expenses covered
• This authority understands that supported social workers deliver better outcomes.

The Role As a Senior Social Worker, you will:

• Assess risk and develop robust child protection plans
• Implement safeguarding strategies using the Family Safeguarding Model
• Work directly with children, young people, and families to reduce risk
• Collaborate with multi-agency professionals to ensure best outcomes
• Maintain clear, high-quality case recordings
• You will have autonomy in managing your diary while being backed by a friendly, experienced team.

About You

• Qualified Social Worker
• Registered with Social Work England
• Experience in statutory child protection/safeguarding
• Confident managing caseloads within a multi-disciplinary setting
• Passionate about improving outcomes for children and families
