New Social Work Opportunities! Temp to Perm and Permanent roles across Children's services.

Come and join us a Social Worker in Southampton - a city of opportunity where we want everyone to thrive!

In Southampton City Council we are extremely ambitious for our children and young people, and building on our successful partnership with schools, integrated locality based early help teams, Family Drug and Alcohol Court, and multi-agency arrangements at our 'front door', you'll be joining us at an extremely exciting time of transformation and continual improvement.

We will support you at whatever stage of your social work career, through regular supervision, training and tools to do the job, including a range of mobile technology to enable you work as flexibly and effectively as possible. This is because we firmly believe that social work excellence is at the heart of achieving the very best outcomes for some of our most vulnerable children.

We have a range of opportunities for qualified Social Workers, experienced or newly qualified, across our existing teams, as we progress towards smaller systemic social work practice groups with manageable caseloads, where your professionalism will be valued, nurtured and the driving force behind safeguarding children and young people in the city. You will find this a rewarding and fulfilling role with great career progression opportunities for the long term!

What we are looking for are enthusiastic professionals with a commitment to high standards of practice, a resilience to manage complex work, with good communication and partnership working skills.

So, what are you waiting for?! You will find Southampton a dynamic and innovative place to come and work, and a vibrant diverse city, easy to get to with excellent transport links, and a potential place to live.
