What We Offer
This is a unique opportunity to influence social work practice across Swindon. You'll work at the heart of our Social Work and Leadership Academy, contributing directly to service improvement and workforce development. You'll build relationships with universities and regional partners while helping create a positive reputation for Swindon's Children's Social Care.
Join us in developing confident, skilled practitioners who will make a real difference to the lives of children and families in Swindon. Furthermore, you will be joining us at an exciting time. Swindon Borough Council is on a journey to transform service delivery and have been shortlisted for the ‘Most Improved Council’ at the Local Government Awards (LGA). We want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision in the new Swindon Plan is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for – the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.
