About the role
Central Bedfordshire Council is looking for social workers who are passionate about getting it right for children and their families the first time.
We are recruiting social workers who have at least five years of post-qualifying experience and a good understanding of how to apply different social work theories and models, which support ideas and the delivery of imaginative ambitious interventions that improve outcomes for children, young people, and their families through child in need, child protection, and court work.
Central Bedfordshire is aspiring to progress from the current ‘Good’ Ofsted rating to be an ‘Outstanding’ Children’s Service, ensuring that our children and young people have the best support and achieve their best outcomes.
As part of our Families First journey, social workers in Family Help now support children from assessment onwards enabling them to build up meaningful relationships with families and create lasting change. We focus on ensuring children receive timely support and reduce the number of children we have coming into local authority care.
Central Bedfordshire is a good and award-winning local authority.
