Job description

Looking for your next role, where working from home is the norm and a condensed week means more flexible working for you?

Keep reading! Leaders in Care have just had a request from a council in South Wales for one more Child Protection Social Worker. This hire will see caseloads evenly shared across the services and, more importantly, manageable. Within this role you will have a capped caseload like your permanent colleagues – meaning you're treated fairly. Our service has undergone strong transformation and is keen to have social workers on board who have a real passion for positive outcomes and are child‑focused. Proper supervision is at hand with a longstanding permanent senior management team in place where you can seek advice and feel safe and supported.

At Leaders in Care, we pride ourselves on matching social workers with their desired roles in long‑term, secure contracts. If you’re an experienced social worker looking for a new challenge or completely new to agency social work and want to understand how it works, we’ve got you covered.

If this role interests you, please get in contact with Leo, send your CV to [e-mail] , or call on 0161 249 8195

If the role is not for you, but perhaps a friend or colleague looking for a change, we are offering a market‑leading referral fee of £500 per placement – all you have to do is reach out!

As this is a statutory role, you do require a social work qualification & registration to Social Care Wales.
