Leaders in Care are working with a steady council that has been on the up since their most recent OFSTED inspection, in which they were rewarding with a GOOD rating. Their court team are now looking to continue their magnificent contribution to the service by hiring excellent social workers to hit the ground running. The council will also consider social workers with little court experience, but who can adapt to fast-paced work and are open to learning on the job. The managers have been hailed for their supportive approach, with social workers in the team feeling very looked after. The team have a hybrid working model, where you can work at home and look after your cases and work around your diary where you see fit. Condensed working is also offered to potential new starters that have living/child arrangement. Typical assessments that the court team complete are parenting, PAMS, Sibling Together and Apart. The majority of children within the team are under 10 and are looked after and generally stable within their placement. Leaders in Care can offer high rates along with a service that has received 370 5* Google reviews – this means weekly check ins, support on your placement, and a market leading timesheet & payroll system that means Fridays are no longer a stress of refreshing your bank to see if your money is coming!
