We believe Wolverhampton is the best place to be a social worker. We are ambitious for our social workers, passionate about excellent, relational social work practice and courageous in our innovation, always keeping the people we work with at the centre of everything we do.
We are a forward-thinking, responsive organisation and want our social workers to spend their time building restorative relationships with families. We focus on teams having manageable workloads and our senior managers and leaders are visible and take the time to listen to frontline employees. Our social workers tell us there is strong learning culture; we invest in training which is varied and responsive to practice challenges and there is a progression pathway that offers a range of opportunities which recognises that not everyone wants to progress into management.
We value our social workers and recognise their hard work and continued commitment to our children, adults and families in the city by also offering:
We will inspire, support and champion you so that you can be the social worker you want to be.
