Summary
|
Working Arrangements: The team operates on a 6-week duty cycle, with candidates needing to be in office for a FULL week during their duty week, and to be local during visit time. Aside from the on-site duty activity required during their allocated week, candidates can work remotely for the other 4 weeks.
For candidates remote working, they will be given a laptop as standard, but keyboards and extra screens can be provided for ease of working if required. The service strives to fully support candidates to work from home/office in the best, most productive manner possible.
Condensed hours will be considered, but the candidate must still be able to commit to full time 5 days during their week on duty.
Team Feel: DAAT at NCT is a stable service, with top level management being predominantly perm, and the locum TMs that currently reside, have both been in the service 2+ years, meaning all managers are 'time served' members of the team, and able to offer enhanced support.
Caseloads are capped off at 35, with cases currently sitting at around 25-30. Workloads are rearranged when needed to compensate, and it is worth noting that a lot of families will have higher number of children, so a social worker may only be working with around 5 families at a time.
DAAT can offer training to locums via overspill from perm training allocations and will book candidates to training based on time served at the authority.
Only candidates with at least 2 years DAAT experience will be considered for a locum role.
