Social Worker - Children with Disabilities Team

We have a great opportunity to recruit a qualified children's social worker for our Children with Disabilities 0-17 Service.

We are a fabulous service with a lovely supportive staff team. We have short breaks staff, occupational therapists, intervention workers and social workers who all work well together. We support children and families who feel the impact of disability, who would like some help around areas of difficulty.

We also work with children in care, children subject to child protection, and work with young people preparing for all things adulthood. The work we have is very varied, very interesting and at times very demanding. We like to work with children early so they have the best chances, by putting the right packages of support in place to ensure children can develop and have opportunities that none disabled children experience.

You will be registered with Social Work England and prepared to work in various locations in Middlesbrough. Social workers in Middlesbrough benefit from: manageable caseloads and strong support. Regular supervisions from Managers. We offer excellent training opportunities and excellent support to our social workers through progression of career grades. Flexible working and excellent varied range of staff discounts.
