Crynodeb
As a Newly Qualified Social Worker you’ll join an OUTSTANDING Children’s Services, with one of the highest performing local authorities in the country.
We’re proud of our innovative Hampshire Approach, a nationally recognised model that’s transformed children’s social care by delivering faster, better outcomes. It prioritises strong relationships, early help and strengths-focused, collaborative working, creating the right environment for you to thrive.
We’re looking for ambitious, motivated Social Work graduates to join our Graduate Entry Training Scheme (GETS) – a two-year programme offering structured learning, high quality development opportunities and tailored support to help you grow in confidence and frontline practice.
You’ll join a cohort of Social Work Graduate Trainees, starting with an intensive induction before moving into one of our teams in the North East. We currently have vacancies in both our Hart & Rushmoor and East Hants teams.
You’ll then complete your ASYE with ongoing supervision, development and a reduced caseload that grows alongside your confidence.
What you’ll be doing:
• Developing as a Newly Qualified Social Worker through a structured two-year programme, completing your ASYE in year one followed by a Professional Development Year, with ongoing learning and skills progression.
• Receiving intensive support and protected development time, including regular supervision, a dedicated Practice Educator, a reduced and gradually increasing caseload, structured development days and self-directed learning opportunities such as shadowing and multiagency work.
• Building professional confidence and capability for long-term practice, with continued support in year two, enhanced development opportunities and potential eligibility for a £3,000 one-off payment at the end of your third year in employment.
What we’re looking for:
• A recognised Social Work degree (or due to qualify before the end of September 2026).
• Registration with Social Work England (SWE), or eligibility and commitment to register once qualified.
• Assessment, analysis and problem-solving skills: Ability to assess risks and needs, analyse complex information, identify problems, negotiate solutions and recognise resource constraints and best value principles.
• Communication and engagement skills: Strong verbal and written communication skills, including active listening, clear and logical presentation of information, relationship-building with diverse service users and appropriate engagement and disengagement.
• Professional, collaborative and well organised practice: Ability to produce high-quality reports and accurate case and financial records with strong numeracy skills. Able to manage time and organise own workloads effectively, working both independently and within multi-disciplinary teams.
Why join us?
• Professional development: Continuous learning and supportive supervision is a key priority for us.
• Employee support: Access to Health Assured's comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme to support your physical and mental wellbeing, including 24/7 telephone support, a suite of online resources, and legal and financial advice.
• Competitive salary and benefits package: Including generous annual leave entitlement, occupational sick pay, and access to the Local Government Pension Scheme.
