Local Government Reorganisation
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council is part of the government’s plans for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) scheduled to take place in April 2027. This means the current two-tier system, where services are split between Surrey County Council and district and borough councils like Reigate, will be replaced with two unitary councils made up of East and West Surrey, which will handle all local services. Reigate and Banstead Borough Council will form part of the new East Surrey unitary authority. &nbsp;
Although this may lead to some uncertainty for anyone considering a role with us, this process will take some time and during that time we still need to provide services. When local government is reorganised, most staff will transfer to the new council(s) which may offer additional opportunities for career development and variety as part of a larger organisation.
Further information on LGR can be found here: <a href="https://www.reigate-banstead.gov.uk/info/20435/local_government_reorganisation_lgr_and_devolution/1688/local_government_reorganisation_lgr_and_devolution" target="_blank">Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) and Devolution | Reigate and Banstead</a>

We are taking positive actions to challenge all forms of discrimination and injustice to help make Newham a fairer and more equitable place for children and families to live, learn and thrive.&nbsp; As part of our commitment to building a Fairer Newham we are reimagining the way that we serve the families that we support. We are realising positive change by combining our Assessment and Intervention social work services into our new Family Support and Safeguarding Service. We’re currently looking for practitioners to join our team.&nbsp; We understand that social work can be a challenging yet ultimately very rewarding profession that makes demands of you personally and professionally. In Newham we value your wellbeing and we aim to ensure that you have a better work/life balance through a remote working offer when you are not visiting children and families, a modern office space for when you’re on site, a flexible working policy where all requests are considered, and a clinical offer to support you to do your best work.&nbsp;&nbsp; ABOUT THE JOB&nbsp; Social Work in Newham is underpinned by a culture of Systemic and Restorative practice with high quality relationships at the heart of our approach. Our CwD teams provide statutory services to children and families who live with disability. You will work a varied caseload, including but not restricted to new referrals, CiN, CP, and looked after cases. This is often long term, rewarding work; focusing on sustaining an improved quality of life for the young people and families you work with.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;“Our social workers deal with interesting and unique cases, building specialist knowledge which will be invaluable for their futures. Working in CwD is about being an advocate; it’s about giving a voice to those who need it most. We enable families to learn and grow together, improving quality of life for children and young people who might otherwise be left behind.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <ul><li>Service Manager Helen Cusick said of working in DCYPS&nbsp;</li> </ul> You get involved in all of the different aspects of social work. I have completed Assessments, worked on CP and CiN cases, gained experience of court work and can be involved in the looked after process. CwD is unique in this respect. It’s also really busy, but in a good way!”&nbsp; <ul><li>Sandra B, DCYPS Social Worker&nbsp;</li> </ul> ABOUT YOU&nbsp; You are a qualified social worker registered with Social Work England and will have completed your ASYE and have subsequent statutory children’s social work experience, including experience supporting children living with disability. We are happy to consider social workers with extensive experience in other statutory social work teams but firm understanding of how SEND can affect families and the processes around children and young people with disabilities is essential. &nbsp; “Patience and tolerance are key, and you need to be able to be a calming influence on families. 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.
