We are looking for a Supervising Social Worker to join our North service based in the Doncaster office, covering carers in Doncaster and surrounding areas.
The role offers a hybrid working arrangement, with a mix of work completed from home and face‑to‑face meetings with foster carers. You will join a thriving, growing community of foster carers and a team with a strong, welcoming, child‑centred ethos.
Five Rivers works from a Trauma‑informed (ATIC) model, integrating fostering, residential, clinical and education services. Teams are supported by a psychologist and a therapeutic practitioner who also act as foster support workers and business support coordinators. This, together with manageable workloads, enables social workers to provide high‑quality support to foster families.
You will directly support our foster carers with realistic caseloads, enabling a higher level of supervision, monitoring and intervention. As a supervising social worker you will work within a continually evolving trauma‑informed practice model, support recruitment events and complete Form F Assessments.
Qualifications and requirements: Registration with Social Work England and a formal social work qualification are mandatory. The role requires access to a car for visits and the right to work in the United Kingdom.
