About the Company
Orchard House Family Assessment Centre provides residential parenting assessments, alongside psychological and other related assessments to Family Courts and Local Authorities nationwide.
At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to safeguarding and supporting vulnerable children and their families. We provide a safe, nurturing environment where families can demonstrate and improve their parenting abilities, supported by a multidisciplinary team that works collaboratively to achieve the best outcomes.
Orchard House is proud to be one of the few Family Assessment Centres in the UK rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted (February 2023). This recognition reflects the exceptional dedication, skill, and compassion of our team and we’re looking for someone equally committed to join us.
About the Role
We are currently seeking a permanent, full-time Consultant Social Worker to join our well-established and supportive team in Taunton.
In this role, you will:
* Lead assessments for 3–4 families, working closely with a dedicated Team Around the Family
* Build meaningful relationships with families to ensure fair, evidence-based assessments
* Collaborate with professionals including Clinical Psychologists, Family Support Workers, and Social Work Assistants
* Develop your skills in supervision, intervention and other areas of interest, with access to ongoing training and reflective practice
If you want to work for an open and forward-thinking organisation, with systemic practice at its core, then Orchard House will be a good match for you. We are committed to small, manageable caseloads as we understand the need to develop meaningful relationships with the children and families that we work with to ensure fair, robust, and evidence-based assessments.
Although not a statutory role, Social Workers at Orchard House have safeguarding responsibility for all families undergoing assessments with us.
The successful applicant will be based at Orchard House Family Services and in the two residential family centres, both of which are based in Taunton, Somerset.

We warmly welcome informal conversations and pre-arranged visits. To learn more about the role or arrange a visit, please contact Sophie Pinder (Managing Director) at 01823 351785 or Sophie.Pinder@orchardhousefac.co.uk.
