Social Worker - Assessment and Intervention Team

Chelmsford - Full Time

Up to 33,488 per annum

Since 2009 we have had a real focus on ensuring that improvements were made and embedded across our everyday practice. At the end of 2011 these improvements were recognised and endorsed by Ofsted.

It's an incredibly positive way to begin 2012 but it's not the end. We've made huge strides but still have much to do to achieve all of our goals. That just means we're more committed than ever to continual improvement. It also means that we listen to our people and value their input. So, as we continue to build on this significant step forward in transforming our service, you could have a big part to play.

Offering all the professional challenges and support you need, and would expect from a County spanning east London through to the east coast, you'll see that we're just as serious about your development as we are about our own.

We are currently looking for Social Workers to join our Assessment and Intervention Teamin the centrally located city of Chelmsford. Experience of court work is essential, along with clearly evidenced experience in working in a Children's Social Care team within a large organisation.

To play a key part in transforming the lives of children and families, you'll need a DIPSW, CQSW, CSS or equivalent and be registered with the GSCC. This will be backed up by post-qualification experience as a children's social worker. Open to change and ready to innovate, you will be keen to join an environment where you can stretch yourself professionally, make an impact individually and deliver positive outcomes collaboratively.

A full clean driving licence and access to a vehicle with business insurance will be required for the role.

We're in the midst of a 4 year programme to deliver the best quality of life in the country while making the savings that will assure the County's future. Everyone has a role to play in empowering our communities and delivering excellent services.
