We have an exciting opportunity for a new Social Worker due to expansion of the Children in Care and Leaving Care team (Here4U).
As a member of the Here4U team you will have limitless opportunities to make a huge difference to the lives of children and young people up to 25 years old in our care and leaving care. The team support these children and young people to ensure they receive the best possible opportunities in life.
The Here4U Team is a fantastic area to grow your expertise in Social Care, as you will be working with children and young people from birth to 18yrs old in a variety of settings, including; kinship placements, foster care, residential care, placement with parents, and semi-independent living. You will work with professionals and family members to meet the children’s needs (which may be outside of the Borough) on both a planned and critical basis.
You will work directly with children and young people on a daily basis, building long term relationships supporting their care plans to adulthood.
To enable you to work to your best we will develop you in your role and as part of the team; additional training and support will be provided, and you will have an opportunity to develop the range of interventions and skills you bring to make a difference to children and young people.
