Senior social workers (out of hours) x 2

Wandsworth Out of Hours social work team are recruiting to two full time vacancies for experienced social workers who have maintained excellent post qualifying learning and interest across the range of social work practice affecting vulnerable children and adults at risk of abuse. You will be able and confident to work alone and will need to demonstrate considerable knowledge of statutory social work for adults and children and their families.

The successful applicant must be able to demonstrate the skills required to work with service users, their carers and statutory agencies in a challenging environment.

We are therefore keen to attract highly skilled and motivated people from across adults and children’s services, and will provide AMHP or post qualifying children’s training to exceptional candidates.
