Applicants will need to have 3+ years post qualification experience in either children or adult services or both. You will need to be able to assess quickly and accurately, have excellent communication and written skills and be able to think creatively.


 


The successful applicants will be experienced and appropriately qualified; Social Work England registered Level 3/4 social workers.


 


All applicants are required to live within 10 mile raduis to Warwickshire Border.
