The Vacancy
We are hiring Children’s Social Workers for our Private Law Work After First Hearing team.
In this team, Children’s Social Workers (or Family Court Advisers) handle cases where families need assistance to agree on the best arrangements for the welfare and safety of the child(ren).
Key responsibilities include:
* Conduct assessments and directly engage with children to understand and represent their views and wishes.
* Utilize expertise in risk assessment and mediation to advocate for arrangements that prioritize the child's best interests.
Who we’re looking for
* You must be registered with the Social Work England regulator.
* Ideally, you have at least 3 years’ experience working with children and families in social work.
* Experience with Family Court proceedings and knowledge of Private and/or Public Law is advantageous.
* Organized, resilient, and capable of working independently while managing your workload effectively.
While roles are based in our Croydon office, our teams work flexibly and remotely. Proximity to the office is not always essential, allowing you to work in a way that suits you best.
We provide resources, equipment, and support to help you be the voice of children and young people in family court decisions.
We also offer extensive wellbeing support and excellent benefits to encourage you to join our dedicated team.

June/July 2025
Final Interview: June/July 2025 (TBC)
