Flexible Working | Competitive Pay | Supportive Council Culture
Are you a Social Worker who wants to feel valued, supported, and trusted to do your best work?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking Local Authority that truly understands the realities of frontline social work and puts people first – both residents and staff.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Hybrid working – work from home 2 days per week
- Flexible hours to support a healthy work‑life balance
- Collaborative, supportive team culture – managers play to your strengths
- Regular supervision and leadership support
- A council that genuinely invests in your development and wellbeing
The Role
You will:
- Complete Care Act assessments, reviews, and support planning
- Work with Court of Protection cases and complex decision‑making
- Apply strong knowledge of the Mental Capacity Act and Best Interests
- Provide supervision and guidance to junior staff where required
- Work within a multi‑disciplinary team to deliver person‑centred outcomes
This role is ideal for a confident, experienced practitioner who enjoys autonomy while being well supported.
What You’ll Need
- Social Work qualification
- Registered with Social Work England
- Minimum 3 years post‑qualified experience
- Proven experience with Court of Protection, Safeguarding Adults, Learning Disabilities & Physical Disabilities, Care Act 2014 & Mental Capacity Act, and experience supervising staff (or readiness to take on supervision)
Why Work with Leaders in Care?
- Competitive pay rates
- Over 700 five‑star Google reviews
- Weekly check‑ins and ongoing support
- Simple, efficient timesheets & payroll – get paid on time, every time
- Dedicated consultant who understands Adult Social Work
- £500 referral bonus for successful placements
