About the role
We are on the start of a journey in Bury and doing things differently. Social Workers are such an important part of our journey, and we promise to develop your skills and support your learning. We want the best talent in Bury and need practitioners who help influence the services we are developing. We want to help you to grow, deliver confident practice with protected caseloads and be the best you can be.
We are one of the first Authorities in the North-west to be pioneering the Hertfordshire Family Safeguarding model of working with families and training will be provided to learn new skills such as motivational interviewing. You will be working alongside Adult practitioners, giving you more time and scope to work with children.
Working collectively, we prioritise support, training and development to serve within a child centred practice. If you are enthusiastic about children, young people and their families and want to work and develop your practice, then we want to hear from you!
We currently have vacancies across all main service areas. Are you a qualified Social Worker who is passionate about improving lives for children? Then come and join us in Bury.
We want to invest in you, and we have a clear vision around succession planning for our most talented workers. At the heart of everything we do are the children and young people of Bury. We want staff who can form relationships, seeing the strengths in families and building on those assets, always looking for solutions to support families to live together safely and for children and young people to thrive.
We listen. We hold monthly Voice of the Workforce meetings where we discuss how we can resolve practice challenges and create better conditions for social work to thrive.
We encourage work-life balance. We want our Social Workers to have enough time to relax, spend time with family and friends, and feel good, so that they can do their best at work.
