The right place
We are proud of our Ofsted rating of outstanding and we are continuing to develop excellent services and ensure ‘Children are at the centre of Kent County Council’s culture and practice’ (Ofsted 2022.) As one of the largest Children’s Social Work Service in the country, we offer a comprehensive learning and development framework in Kent. And because one size doesn’t fit all, we offer opportunities that can be tailored to individual, and team needs.
We can offer a wide variety of work that you are unlikely to find elsewhere. Kent is a large and diverse county, offering a broad range of opportunities to support children and young people from all backgrounds and circumstances. &nbsp;You will be able to work across a range of locations and environments, and to be seconded to or move to other teams.&nbsp;
We place great importance on professional development that enables you to&nbsp;grow your skills and knowledge to&nbsp;manage a varied caseload. There will be new challenges and opportunities with case work and as part of the wider organisation, e.g., developing specialist links with partner agencies and representing Children’s Services in court.
Acting as a role model and mentor to less experienced colleagues, you will contribute to training initiatives, and, proactively maintaining your awareness of changes in child development theories, legislation, policies and practices, you will share your knowledge and uphold high standards of social work.
Transport
Whilst we foster a hybrid working approach, the role requires you to be mobile throughout a wide operational area including travelling around the county of Kent and beyond to transport children and their belongings and be available to do so in an emergency.&nbsp;
This role is subject to holding a Full UK Driving Licence – The Council is committed to making reasonable adjustments so whilst this job requires the jobholder to drive your application will still be considered if you are unable to drive due to a disability.
Benefits
A competitive starting salary, including an annual market premium payment of up to £5,000 subject to eligibility
A supportive team working environment with regular supervision
Access to a wide range of formal and informal CPD activities underpinned by a performance appraisal scheme and career progression pathway
An annual appraisal linking your learning and development needs
Generous annual leave allowance
Local Government pension scheme
Flexible working opportunities including flexi time, part time, remote and hybrid working – dependant on your job role and business need
Relocation Package
You will also have a range of professional development opportunities including the exciting social care academy and routes for progression.&nbsp;
Eligibility
This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure Application to the Disclosure and Barring Service and up to date registration with the appropriate professional body as a qualified Social Worker.
This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position.
