Westmorland amp Furness Council

Are you looking for a great place to start your career as a Newly Qualified Social Worker or to advance your career in Social Work? Then join Westmorland and Furness Council! We are a dynamic unitary authority formed in April 2023, situated amidst the picturesque Lake District and the Furness Peninsula in Cumbria.  Our location provides easy access to stunning natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage.  The strength of our caring council is its people, and our mission is to ensure a great place to live, work and thrive. 

We’re heading to The Social Work Show to meet aspiring and experienced social workers who are passionate about making a difference. We are recruiting for a variety of roles within Childrens and Families and Adults Social Care.  We pride ourselves on offering a supportive, compassionate and development focussed culture, one where our social workers feel valued.   In fact, our Ofsted rated Good Childrens and Families service has been shortlisted for the ‘Supportive Social Work Employer Award’ at The Social Worker of the Year Awards 2025.  We really care about offering flexible working and our values.  Values in Practice is Westmorland and Furness Council’s practice framework for social work with adults. It describes our approach to social care, reflecting the values, culture and behaviours of the Council.
