Social Worker - Safeguarding Team

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 Key workers, and an Assistant Team Manager. Collaboration is central to our work, as you'll partner with professionals and multi-agency teams.

You will take on a leadership role, serving as a role model, sharing expertise with the team, and managing more complex cases individually. 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 returning professionals with a supportive program to facilitate your transition.

A full driving license and access to a car are essential due to Wiltshire's rural nature. 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.
