Crynodeb

“Bexley is a safe and supportive place to work with highly creative work undertaken by a skilled and well supported workforce – Ofsted 2018”

The Council, its staff and partners, were delighted in August 2018, when Ofsted judged the overall effectiveness of children’s social care services to be ‘outstanding’! We were especially pleased that our investment in frontline practitioners and managers was recognised. We have been working hard to create an environment where social workers can do the work they came into the profession to do - to support and help families to stay together where this is in children’s best interests and it is safe enough for this to happen.

Ofsted judged that we provide strong management oversight of practice, that we have a well – embedded practice framework to enable meaningful family focused help, that we offer clear progress in career pathways, a talent management scheme and a nurturing environment to enable social work to flourish. We believe deeply in relationship based practice and ‘Signs of Safety’ is the vehicle enabling us to do this respectfully and in collaboration with the people we are trying to help.

Practitioners are invited to contribute to our Learning & Development offer in Bexley and to enhance Continual Professional Development, there is opportunity to co-design and deliver training if this is of interest.

Here in Bexley, we recognise that our greatest asset is our workforce. Staff well-being is important to us and you will have access to our weekly staff well-being drop in sessions, our Employee Assistance Programme and our corporate offer of emotional and physical well-being sessions.

If this sounds exciting and reassuring, we want you to get in touch with us. Our workforce is stable with a high level of permanent staff but we are always looking for practitioners wanting to come and practice confidently as part of our team making a difference for families and children. We will invest in you in return for your investment in our families and children.

Do you think you have what it takes to join our team of excellent, creative and dedicated social work professionals?

Ideal candidates will possess highly developed knowledge in children’s social work practice and ideally will have experience of working with children with disabilities.

For the full list of essential and desirable criteria for this role then please refer to the Person Specification within the Job Description.

Appointment to this post will be subject to the outcome of an Enhanced Disclosure obtained through the Disclosure and Barring Service
