Job Title: Social Worker
Grade: J-K
Salary: £32,909 - £38,296 per annum pro rata + relocation support
Location: Northallerton, Harrogate, Selby and Scarborough
Hours: Full and part time hours available
Contract: permanent
North Yorkshire County Council have a national reputation for excellence and we are looking for Social Worker. We also welcome those who are looking to relocate.
About the role
Our team works with children and young people who are cared for by the Local Authority who are ‘Looked After’ or those who are placed with their family and supported under a Child in Need basis who may have been subject to court proceedings which have concluded.
We have high aspirations for our young people and always strive to work collaboratively with families and young people, working strongly with the belief that each child and young person has a network around them which is essential to work alongside and tap into.
The role is very varied, no two days look the same for workers, one day you maybe completing words and pictures with a family or the next supporting a young person with pathway planning to independence. We work with all young people from birth upto the age of 18 having strong links with other agencies externally and teams in North Yorkshire.
The team consists of a Team Manager and two and a half practice supervisors. There is one Advanced Practitioner, eight Social Workers, a dedicated Business Support Team and Social Workers in training. There is regular group supervisions, individual supervisions and opportunities to participate in County Wide practice model sessions. The team is creative in the ways we work with families and no two plans look the same. The Social Workers are supported by new technology which means that time is freed up to spend it away from the computer and with young people.
About you
We are looking for Social Workers with a ‘can do’ attitude who are child focussed, like to think outside of the box and are creative in their planning with children. It doesn’t matter whether you are starting out in your social work career, returning to practice or an experienced worker looking for a new challenge either in a different field or new authority.
For an informal conversation, we would welcome you to contact Heidi Scott-Nelson (Group Manager FAST East) by emailing Heidi.Scott-Nelson@northyorks.gov.uk
