Senior Social Worker – Strengthening Families Team, Adoption Support – closing date 16 January 2023

Are you passionate about delivering high quality adoption support? We are an innovative team who are creative and highly committed about giving children and families the very best services possible.

We provide support to a diverse range of families and children. With access to our specialist therapeutic services, we are proud to provide excellent lifetime support for our families’ adoption journeys. We are rated as ‘outstanding’ with Ofsted.

We are looking for an experienced and qualified adoption social worker with the skills and confidence to be able to support families that may be in crisis. Ideally you will have some form of specialist therapeutic experience (particularly with trauma and attachment), however with a commitment to learning and development as an organisation, we can support you to undertake training.

The role is specifically set within the therapeutic social work support team (Strengthening Families Team). As part of the Team, you will carry out some tailored and in-person packages of therapeutic work with adoptive children and their adoptive parent/s. You will also be involved in helping set up and co-deliver some therapeutic group work sessions (known as Adoptee Voices). These groups have been specifically set up for our older adoptive young people/teenagers.
