You need to be able to connect and build a trust with the families, and have them trust you to be able to find strategies to support them.&nbsp;&nbsp; You have to be passionate, trustworthy, and empathetic; with a genuine love and passion for helping children and their families, and being that advocate for them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Finally, you need strong emotional strength and resilience. That is what makes a social worker- that resilience within yourself. It comes from my heart the work that we do”.&nbsp; Juliet Y, DCYPS Senior Social Worker.&nbsp; WHY WORK WITH US?&nbsp; We’ve been working hard to make Newham a great place to practise social work.&nbsp; <ul><li>A commitment to addressing disproportionality wherever we find it.&nbsp;</li> <li>We’re a&nbsp;GOOD local authority&nbsp;focused on reaching excellence.&nbsp;</li> <li>We offer genuinely flexible/hybrid working as long as children and families are supported.&nbsp;</li> <li>Stability: 100% of senior management and 80% of Team Managers are now permanent.&nbsp;</li> <li>Our firmly established practice model,&nbsp;Circles of Support,&nbsp;was recently nominated for the prestigious MJ Award for Innovation in Children’s Services and allows systemic, restorative practice to flourish.&nbsp;</li> <li>Career progression is possible with Newham; within Children’s social work we promoted 30 internal colleagues in 2023 and 38 colleagues so far in 2024.&nbsp;</li> <li>Social Care Academy – our academy received significant praise from Ofsted and 50+ social workers have studied for systemic higher education with us since 2020.&nbsp;</li> <li>A competitive salary package that rivals capped agency pay.&nbsp;</li> <li>Oyster card/parking permit for business use.&nbsp;</li> <li>Wellbeing service, leisure and discount benefits&nbsp;</li> <li>Travel season ticket loan, cycle scheme, Local Authority pension.&nbsp;</li> </ul> TO APPLY&nbsp; Please view JD here To apply please submit your CV through our&nbsp;online recruitment portal.&nbsp;&nbsp; Our social worker roles are CV only application to make things easier for you; but please ensure your CV is up to date and lists relevant experience in line with the service you’re applying for.&nbsp;&nbsp; Additional Information We are committed to creating an inclusive, anti-racist environment for all.
