Passionate Social Workers Required Across Lincolnshire

Childrens Social Work at Lincolnshire County Council
Our Childrens Social Work teams are amongst the absolute best in the country. We have an overall Outstanding rating from Ofsted and in our recent inspection in April 2023 we maintained this judgement which we are very proud of. We are not about to let up on our progress and development though! As an organisation we are extremely proud of the work our teams undertake and this pride shines through from every member of the teams.
Our practice model is “Signs of Safety” and this is underpinned by a firm commitment to restorative practice, working in a way where the strengths of the family and their network are honoured and families are supported to develop their own solutions. Most importantly, we believe the voice of the child should be at the very heart of every plan.
About the Role of a Level 1 Social Worker
As a Level 1 Social Worker in our teams, you'll use your skills, knowledge and experience to manage a range of cases from assessment to ongoing interventions, leading on these from start to finish - meaning children and families have consistency of Social Workers. You'll work directly with children, young people and their families along with other stakeholders and partners to build a brighter future for the children and families of Lincolnshire. The children and families that we work with face a range of challenges, and if you join one of our FAST teams, your caseload will be extremely varied, allowing you the opportunity and experience to grow as a practitioner and develop your skills and confidence. You'll also co-work more complex caseloads alongside more experienced Social Workers helping you make the right decisions when it matters most.
