suitably qualified (DIPSW/CQSW/Masters/Degree in Social work) and preferably
have supervisory or management experience as well as being able to evidence
skills and knowledge in line with the job specification. You will have a
passion for working with young people and creating brighter futures for them

employee benefits including flexible working hours - including the ability to
work from home, - generous leave entitlement and access to our 'Everybody
Benefits' package which includes numerous high-street retail discounts. We are

rewarding yet challenging role.

If you are
committed to delivering a high standard of practice, we would love to hear from
you.
