Daphne, our champion for people with learning difficulties, is a real beacon. She doesn’t just advocate for colleagues with these difficulties, she teaches managers how to identify and understand the conditions and support their teams at work. Daphne has an innate ability to see the human behind every situation, helping them capitalise on strengths and overcome challenges to be their very best. With her empathy and expertise, she’s a natural. But then, a lifetime of managing her own dyslexia and dyspraxia brings with it unique insight. Our people – and ultimately residents – benefit every day.

From managing elected officials' diaries and supporting the Council’s governance process to administering the ward budget programme, you’ll respond to all sorts of important challenges as you enable our key decision-makers to perform their roles smoothly and effectively. This vital work will help to deliver our Fairer Westminster strategy and support Cabinet Members as they make the decisions that affect the lives of people and communities in Westminster. Working closely with politicians, your day-to-day tasks will be varied and could include arranging a complex cross-Council meeting with various stakeholders, commissioning a briefing note for a Cabinet Member on a pressing strategic priority, or supporting applicants through the ward budget application process. You’ll also take a lead role in supporting a broad portfolio of casework, working with everyone in the council from junior officers to our most senior stakeholders. Maintaining oversight of complaints and casework, you’ll also work in partnership with relevant service areas to resolve issues and conduct investigations into the specifics of each challenge, while ensuring our residents have the best possible experience when they interact with the Council. Working in a team with great links across the Council, this role is a great opportunity for someone who has strong organisational skills, is enthusiastic about local government and is interested in learning more about the inner workings of a Council.

It goes without saying that you’ll have brilliant organisational skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, politically driven environment, and more than that, you’ll be ready to quickly get to grips with large and complex amounts of information while balancing several workstreams at the same time. Comfortable when it comes to handling financial administration, including processing payment requests, you’ll be highly collaborative and personable with a flair for building good relationships with everyone you work with. You should also be aware of the key challenges facing local government, and confident in your ability to communicate tactfully and diplomatically. Whilst you’ll be happy to work with limited supervision, you’ll also know when to ask your team for help and when to seek advice from colleagues. Above all, you’ll be interested in the work we do and willing to get stuck in. In return, we’ll offer you a dynamic work environment with great career development opportunities and the chance to work on some of the most pressing issues facing local government today.

We’ve been working tirelessly to establish a Centre of Excellence for Children’s Services through investment, co-production and by continuously developing our 'Circles of Support' practice model; centring on systemic and restorative practice and a specialist support offer for our practitioners. Ofsted described Newham as having a positive culture of learning and development and we always try to develop talent in-house. We promoted 30 internal colleagues in 2023 alone, and have put more than 47 practitioners through further education since 2020. We value your development and at Newham career progression is reality for many. We understand that social work can be a challenging yet ultimately very rewarding profession that makes demands of you personally and professionally. In Newham we value your wellbeing and ensure that you have the support needed for a better work/life balance through a remote working offer when you are not visiting your children and families, a pleasant, modern office space for when you are in the office, a flexible working policy where all requests are considered, and a clinical offer to support you to do your best work. Our recent (Jan 24) visit from Ofsted was focused our services for Children in Care and Care Leavers, we’d love for you to read the positive report here before considering joining us. ABOUT THE JOB Social Work in Newham is underpinned by a culture of Systemic and Restorative practice with high quality relationships at the heart of our approach. Our children in care service work closely with children and young people who are in the care of the local authority, from care proceedings, during placements, to eventual transfer to leaving care services or hopefully returning to family. Senior Social Workers have a vital case holding role delivering high quality practice to best serve our children and families, whilst supporting lesser experienced colleagues. SSWs will potentially take on responsibility for supervising social work students on placement at Newham so we welcome Practice Educators, though this is not essential for this role. You’ll be joining an experienced and friendly service, where progression is a genuine possibility; we’ve seen two Senior Social Workers make the upwards step to Assistant Team Manager, and one Assistant Team Manager to move up to Team Manager, within the last 12 months. We value our practitioners and understand the importance of supporting your learning, development and ambition, as well as your wellbeing. We have a bespoke offer through our very own clinical service and support to social work teams is provided following duty week through our ‘Duty Debrief’ meeting. Our embedded systemic family psychotherapist facilitates group discussion and the processing of the duty week experience, and it is an opportunity to share observations among the team, to identify and address challenges, and to prioritise staff wellbeing. The family therapist is also available for joint work with social workers on visits and consultations. Our social workers have fed back that this offer has enhanced their practice and development and helped them with embedding systemic practice into the service.
