Join our busy and dynamic adoption team here in Scotland. We have a strong team who are ready to welcome a new recruit and work alongside one another. We are one small part of the wider UK adoption teams and this gives great opportunities to learn from colleagues across the country. We are forward thinking and always striving to be better for the children and families we support.
About the role
As a Social Worker within our Adoption Service, you will:
- Recruit, assess and train prospective and approved adoptive parents
- Provide thoughtful, tailored pre-and post-placement support to adoptive families
- Offer training
- Work with hope, creativity and empathy as you help families build secure and lasting connections
- Contribute to the ongoing development of our service through reflective practice, learning and professional curiosity
We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic, motivated, and passionate about achieving the very best outcomes for children. You’ll be supported to work therapeutically and to grow your skills through ongoing development opportunities.
Whilst we are a Scotland wide service, most of the work will be based around the central belt of Scotland with reasonable travel expected.
What we’re looking for
- A qualified Social Worker registered with SSSC
- Someone who embraces learning and wants to grow within a highly experienced team
- A compassionate, resilient practitioner
