Due to current workload pressures, the service is looking to bring in an experienced team who can come in and help stabilise the service and support the existing structure, ensuring cases continue to receive the time and attention they need, and ultimately bring caseloads down for their current workforce. The working setup is super flexible, with hybrid working in place and full autonomy to manage your diary how you see fit. There is a real focus on trusting experienced practitioners to manage their own time effectively, with no micromanagement and the freedom to organise your week in a way that works best for you. Further benefits include: Great pay - £42 p/h Opportunity to move with your team  Super engaged senior management structure to provide you with quality support Weekly expenses of £100/week to travel from out of area  Long-term flexible contracts Free parking   We offer £500 referral bonus', meaning if you bring your full team including yourself, that’s the easiest £2000 you’ll ever make.   Our excellent longstanding relationship with this council means we are always on hand to provide ongoing support whenever you may need it. We want to do what’s right by you to ensure you are happy for the entirety of your time at work with us.   As this is a statutory role, you do require a social work qualification & registration to Social Work England, as well as 3+ years permanent experience in an English council.   To apply, simply email your CV to Chris@leadersincare.co.uk. Alternatively, please call Chris on 07897 024978 to discuss this opportunity in more detail.   Thinking about making a change this year, or just wanting to explore your options with your team, please get in touch!
