Are you an ambitious newly qualified social worker looking to kick-start your career? If so then this is your opportunity to join our ‘Outstanding’ Company and make a difference! We are proud that Together for Children has been rated as ‘outstanding’ in a judgement by Ofsted in 2021 in recognition of the stability of our very well supported and talented workforce who deliver an unstinting commitment to improving children’s outcomes.

We would welcome applications from people who have their Social Work England registration and those currently in an ASYE position with other local authorities.

Join us and help us in continuing our outstanding journey! Child-Centred, Respectful, Creative and Transparent are our company values and this is what you can expect from Together for Children when you join us.

The Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) is a programme that gives newly qualified social workers extra support during their first year of employment. The programme aims to develop skills, knowledge and professional confidence over the year. You will join a small social work team and benefit from a high level of support and guidance from a Team Manager and Assistant Team Manager throughout your ASYE.

Together for Children prides itself on a visible senior management team who promote a nurturing, learning environment with high support and high challenge. Together for Children have adopted the Signs of Safety model of practice. Signs of Safety is embedded in all areas across the service. Applications are welcomed from those with and without any knowledge and experience of Signs of Safety, as we have the benefit of an extensive training and support offer via our dedicated Signs of Safety team.

Together for Children firmly believe in investing in our workforce development and recognise the benefits of training our social work staff to equip them with the skills and knowledge to deliver high quality social work. Within the first year you will receive high levels of supervision, group supervision and a reduced caseload to ensure that you have the space and time to reflect on the work you are undertaking. We also offer a Year 2 programme to ensure that the support and development continues beyond the ASYE.

For further information on the positions please email Workforce Development Coordinator [email protected]

This is for a September 2024 cohort start. Candidates must have their SW England registration before they start.

This post is exempt from the rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore will be subject to a DBS check from the Disclosure and barring Service
