Senior Social Worker - Children's Family Help + £2.5k Retention Bonus

Senior Social Worker, Family Help with Sandwell Children's Trust in Oldbury, West Midlands. A permanent, full time post recruited by Pro Social Partners.

The role

The newer model that keeps assessment, child in need and child protection inside one team. Families keep the same social worker as their situation changes, which is the whole point of it.

Why it could suit you

A children's trust rather than a council department, so decisions come from people whose only job is children's social work, with a retention payment on top and a commute that works from most of the West Midlands.

Pay and package

• Salary £44,253 to £49,817 a year
• £2,500 retention payment a year
• Total package up to £52,317

Benefits

• Permanent post with the Local Government Pension Scheme

About Sandwell Children's Trust

Sandwell runs its children's services through a dedicated trust, which in practice means decisions made by people whose only job is children's social work. Sandwell borders Birmingham and the Black Country, so the commute works from most of the West Midlands.

What you need

• A social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England
