At Slough Children First, we offer exceptional support, a chance to do things differently and we are proud to have created a place where social work can flourish.

You’ll undertake direct work with children and ensure the delivery of assessments meet deadlines required.

And you will work with the team to continually develop and improve the quality and efficiency of these assessments and make sure the carers are given the appropriate training and support.
For this role, you will need to be registered with Social Work England with a professional social work qualification, or equivalent, and significant proven social work experience.

- training and development opportunities
- agile working supported by technology
- flexible working policies
- friendly working environment and great colleagues.
