That's why our training programme gives Newly Qualified Social Workers (NQSWs) an exceptional grounding in children's social care. Over three years, we'll equip you to do something vital and amazing: to be the voice of the child in family court proceedings. In 2024 we are planning to recruit up to 6 NQSWs to join us and because we operate across England from 30+ offices, we have opportunities across the country. From Brighton and Chelmsford on the south coast, all the way up to York and Sheffield, we are recruiting for the very best talented, passionate individuals who can relate to our purpose.

They'll be depending on you and your determination and resilience are essential, along with a gift for communication. We want to develop social workers into highly skilled professionals who'll ensure that children come first in a complex legal system. To this end, we've developed an Academy to help every NQSW reach their full potential. Our Social Work Academy enables you to develop practice skills in a safe environment. Led by expert social workers, it will support your journey, enhance your expertise and ensure you work with confidence. As well as an empowering peer network, you'll have access to a mentor plus high levels of reflective supervision. Over the course of a structured three-year programme, you'll develop professional maturity, gain hands-on experience and achieve a respected qualification. In year one, you'll follow the ASYE (Assessed & Supported Year in Employment) with us, gaining core skills from some of our 78 practice educators. In year two, to broaden your experience you will be offered shadowing, training and extensive support to develop you skills in public law . Year three will see you enjoy further academic development opportunities, as your caseload gradually grows. Then, once you've completed the course, we'll help you build a successful, fulfilling career, where you'll apply your specialist skills, including those required in court. To find out more, we encourage you to read the Job Description (including Person Specification) and the NQSW Handbook by going to 'Documents' section. Still interested? If so, let us tell you a little about the basic criteria you need to be aware of. We're looking for soon-to-be qualified Social Workers (or those who've gained a recognised qualification since 2023) to join us. You will already have (or shortly will have) an undergraduate qualification a 2:1 or above, or if a postgraduate qualification this needs to be merit or higher. You will also need to have to be able to register with Social Work England by July so that you can commence your employment with us during September. Finally, to be eligible for the ASYE you will need to have not held a social work role previously or have commenced another ASYE programme. If you fulfil these criteria, then we can imagine you would like to know where we are recruiting across the country. Birmingham, Leeds, Plymouth, Brighton, Liverpool, Sheffield, Bristol, London (Central), Stevenage, Chelmsford London (Croydon), York Hopefully one (or more) of these locations interest you but we can imagine there is more you would like to find out about Cafcass, the Academy and the programme to help you decide if this is the right next step for your career. Therefore, we are hosting a webinar (on Teams) on the 24th April at 5pm. Please register below to attend. Register here for our NQSW Webinar If you are happy to go ahead and commence your application in the meantime, then of course feel free to do so, we look forward to receiving it and will be in contact with our webinar details to provide you with further insight.

The Vacancy Few jobs are as important as protecting a child's needs and wishes. That's why our training programme gives Newly Qualified Social Workers (NQSWs) an exceptional grounding in children's social care. Over three years, we'll equip you to do something vital and amazing: to be the voice of the child in family court proceedings. In 2024 we are planning to recruit up to 6 NQSWs to join us and because we operate across England from 30+ offices, we have opportunities across the country. From Brighton and Chelmsford on the south coast, all the way up to York and Sheffield, we are recruiting for the very best talented, passionate individuals who can relate to our purpose. Working with us is very different to working with a local authority - as you'll hopefully discover. You could be supporting children who are involved in divorces, adoptions or care proceedings. They'll be depending on you and your determination and resilience are essential, along with a gift for communication. We want to develop social workers into highly skilled professionals who'll ensure that children come first in a complex legal system. To this end, we've developed an Academy to help every NQSW reach their full potential. Our Social Work Academy enables you to develop practice skills in a safe environment. Led by expert social workers, it will support your journey, enhance your expertise and ensure you work with confidence. As well as an empowering peer network, you'll have access to a mentor plus high levels of reflective supervision. Over the course of a structured three-year programme, you'll develop professional maturity, gain hands-on experience and achieve a respected qualification. In year one, you'll follow the ASYE (Assessed & Supported Year in Employment) with us, gaining core skills from some of our 78 practice educators. In year two, to broaden your experience you will be offered shadowing, training and extensive support to develop you skills in public law . Year three will see you enjoy further academic development opportunities, as your caseload gradually grows. Then, once you've completed the course, we'll help you build a successful, fulfilling career, where you'll apply your specialist skills, including those required in court. To find out more, we encourage you to read the Job Description (including Person Specification) and the NQSW Handbook by going to 'Documents' section. Still interested? If so, let us tell you a little about the basic criteria you need to be aware of. We're looking for soon-to-be qualified Social Workers (or those who've gained a recognised qualification since 2023) to join us.

The Vacancy Few jobs are as important as protecting a child's needs and wishes. That's why our training programme gives Newly Qualified Social Workers (NQSWs) an exceptional grounding in children's social care. Over three years, we'll equip you to do something vital and amazing: to be the voice of the child in family court proceedings. In 2024 we are planning to recruit up to 6 NQSWs to join us and because we operate across England from 30+ offices, we have opportunities across the country. From Brighton and Chelmsford on the south coast, all the way up to York and Sheffield, we are recruiting for the very best talented, passionate individuals who can relate to our purpose. Working with us is very different to working with a local authority - as you'll hopefully discover. You could be supporting children who are involved in divorces, adoptions or care proceedings. They'll be depending on you and your determination and resilience are essential, along with a gift for communication. We want to develop social workers into highly skilled professionals who'll ensure that children come first in a complex legal system. To this end, we've developed an Academy to help every NQSW reach their full potential. Our Social Work Academy enables you to develop practice skills in a safe environment. Led by expert social workers, it will support your journey, enhance your expertise and ensure you work with confidence. As well as an empowering peer network, you'll have access to a mentor plus high levels of reflective supervision. Over the course of a structured three-year programme, you'll develop professional maturity, gain hands-on experience and achieve a respected qualification. In year one, you'll follow the ASYE (Assessed & Supported Year in Employment) with us, gaining core skills from some of our 78 practice educators. In year two, to broaden your experience you will be offered shadowing, training and extensive support to develop you skills in public law . Year three will see you enjoy further academic development opportunities, as your caseload gradually grows. Then, once you've completed the course, we'll help you build a successful, fulfilling career, where you'll apply your specialist skills, including those required in court. To find out more, we encourage you to read the Job Description (including Person Specification) and the NQSW Handbook by going to 'Documents' section. Still interested?
