Social Care and Safeguarding

Leicester is one of the most diverse and multicultural Cities in the Country, with an ethnic community that accounts for over a quarter of the population. Leicester City Council is committed to continuous improvement so we’re looking for skilled and enthusiastic staff to join our service.

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a talented and committed individual to join us in Leicester in continuing to develop our ability to deliver quality services in Child Care Social Work. Our Services were judged ‘good’ in our JAR and we have had a recent successful ‘Unannounced’ OFSTED Inspection of our front-line Safeguarding Services. We have very recently re-organised our Fieldwork Structure in Leicester to allow our staff to focus more closely on service areas, including Family Change, Child Protection and ‘Looked After’ Children’s Services. We hope you will come and join us, you will find us committed to the development of our staff, particularly those just starting in their careers but with plenty of opportunities for development for all grades of staff.

In addition to the competitive salary we offer a ‘Golden Hello’ payment and an annual retention bonus – ‘under review’ (for certain posts/divisions) and car lease schemes.

If you hold a DIPSW, CQSW, CSS or equivalent and have substantial post qualifying experience then we would be interested in hearing from you.
