About the Role

Are you a passionate Social Worker looking for a role where your expertise is trusted, and your impact is valued? Join a well-established local authority in a stunning county location, where manageable caseloads, supportive leadership, and flexible working are the norm. 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.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

  • Competitive hourly rate (flexible depending on experience)

  • 6-month rolling contract – stability without long-term tie-in

  • Supportive and approachable management team

  • Manageable caseloads to ensure quality practice

  • Loyalty bonus for committed service

  • All work-related expenses covered

Key Responsibilities

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 enjoy 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
