There is an exciting opportunity to join Warwickshire’s Children with Disabilities Team as a Social Worker within the Team. Warwickshire is creating a 0-25 Team, and you will have the opportunity to join us on our exciting new journey. You will be joining a very well-established, and highly motivated team, where the support and development of our practitioners is prioritised.

 

We are looking for an Advanced Practitioner to join our 0-25 Disability Service and play a central role in delivering high-quality and responsive social work across children’s and adults’ services (up to 25).

We adopt a positive, can do and problem-solving approach to our work based on restorative and trauma-informed practice; we set ourselves high standards, are not afraid to challenge ourselves and others and are always keen to improve upon our best. With free onsite parking and agile and flexible working, this is a great time to join the Team!

 

We are building something very special in Warwickshire. A community of practice – with diverse thought, skills & experiences.

 

“Leaders have implemented a wide range of measures to ensure that children’s needs are met well. They have a sound understanding of the quality of frontline practice and, despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been tenacious in securing resources and ensuring that services continue to improve. As a result, social workers have continued to support vulnerable children well.” Ofsted February 2022
