They recognise the importance of reflection and learning, and allow all Social Workers 6 protected Continuous Professional Development (CPD) days per calendar year.

But most importantly you will be part of a team that will have your back.

You must be a qualified social worker with current SWE registration and want to be part of a flagship for children's service innovation. This is a great opportunity for you to work within a diverse and supportive team who will empower you to make important decisions and find creative solutions to challenging situations. They would welcome applications from a diverse range of workers to enhance their existing workforce.

They are proud to serve the diverse communities of Cambridgeshire and want their workforce to reflect this diversity, which they believe is beneficial for their employees, the organisation and the communities they serve.
