In return, we offer a supportive environment, regular supervision, appraisals, training, and development opportunities.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and resourceful social worker who can respond positively and creatively to the needs of the people we work with using a strengths-based approach. Essential qualities include strong communication skills, enthusiasm, proficiency in multidisciplinary working, and the ability to assertively build and sustain relationships with key partners.
