Are you an experienced social worker ready to take the next step in your career and help shape outstanding practice for children and families?
At Cheshire East Council, we're looking for a passionate and skilled Senior Social Worker to join our children's services team, supporting some of the borough's most vulnerable children, young people and families to achieve positive and lasting outcomes.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced practitioner who wants to combine direct work with children and families with mentoring, coaching and supporting colleagues to deliver high-quality social work. As a Senior Social Worker, you'll be a vital source of expertise within the team, helping to drive practice excellence and championing relationship-based approaches that put children at the centre of decision-making.
You'll manage a complex caseload, undertake high-quality assessments and interventions, and work alongside partner agencies to ensure children receive the right support at the right time. You'll also play an important role in sharing knowledge, modelling best practice and supporting less experienced colleagues to develop their skills and confidence.
At Cheshire East, we're committed to creating the conditions for excellent social work. Our approach is built on restorative practice, strong relationships and a belief that families are the experts in their own lives. We invest in our workforce through regular reflective supervision, learning and development opportunities and supportive management that enables practitioners to do their best work.
