At Slough Children First, we offer exceptional support, a chance to do things differently and we are proud to have created a place where social work can flourish. Our children and their foster carers are looking for social workers who are down-to-earth, honest, approachable and who can be themselves. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
As the Senior Supervising Social Worker, you will ensure the children placed with Regulation 24 Family and Friends foster carers are safeguarded. You’ll undertake direct work with children and ensure the delivery of assessments meet deadlines required. You will work with other partners and stakeholders to make sure the voice of the child is taken into consideration. And you will work with the team to continually develop and improve the quality and efficiency of these assessments and make sure the carers are given the appropriate training and support.
For this role, you will need to be registered with Social Work England with a professional social work qualification, or equivalent, and significant proven social work experience.
If you’re looking for a new challenge and want to be part of an exciting journey to turn children’s services around in Slough then come and join us. In return, we can offer you:
- training and development opportunities
- agile working supported by technology
- flexible working policies
- friendly working environment and great colleagues.
Slough is one of the most diverse places in the country outside of London and a great place to live or work. In fact it's the best place to live or work according to a survey by Glassdoor. Pleasant environments, above average salaries and a lower cost of living, mean an increased quality of life for employees. We're also one of the most accessible places to be, nestled on the corner of the M25, M4 and M40, and less than 20 minutes by train to Central London.
