About this opportunity

Everyone starts somewhere!

We are recruiting newly qualified social workers looking to take their first steps into a hopefully long career in social work.

Our teams are area based, meaning you work within local communities so will be able to build links with families and partner agencies. It is really important to us that Westmorland and Furness is a great place to be a child and grow up; a place of opportunity where young people are able to live happy and productive lives and a place where young people will want to live and work in the future.

We firmly believe that all children in Westmorland and Furness deserve the best start in life, and we're looking for the right people to help make that happen.

Current ASYE opportunities are available in our Support and Protect Teams across the council, as well as our Cared For children’s teams.

At Westmorland and Furness, we are committed to providing a robust package of support to guide you through the initial stages of your social work career, to develop your confidence, skills and expertise at a pace that is right for you.

As part of our Social Work Academy, you will receive:

One to one reflective supervision each week for the first six weeks by your practice educator, fortnightly for the next 6 months and then monthly until the completion of your ASYE. Alongside this you will receive monthly personal and professional supervision from your team manager.

A reduced caseload that will gradually increase as your experience does, at a pace that is right for you.

Extended training opportunities on top of our already robust training programme for social workers.

Time to learn; 2 days each month of protected time for you to study, research, or access any work experience activities that will support you in your ASYE year.

What can we offer you!

  • Genuine flexible working: family-friendly patterns such as flexible start/finish times and state of the art technology support, so you can spend some time working from home.
  • Encouragement to take your TOIL back – we mean it!
  • Our annual leave allowance isn’t bad either… 25 days per year, rising to 30 after four years’ service, alongside your yearly bank holiday leave, there should be plenty of time for rest and recuperation.
  • Manageable and Protected caseloads; We pride ourselves on giving our social workers the time and space they need to create meaningful relationships with families to get the best outcomes for children and young people we are working alongside.
  • Supervision: Our strengthened supervision policy supports you to build a trusting relationship with your team manager.
  • We have a permanent and stable management team. You will have easy and regular access to the Senior Leadership Team.
  • We pay your Social Work England registration fee.
  • Career development: get your ASYE year under your belt and automatically move to the next pay grade.
  • The Local Government Pension Scheme provides you with a secure future income, independent of share prices and stock market fluctuations. The council pays, on average, twice as much into your pension as you do and regular cost of living increases.
  • Child Care vouchers, Cycle to work scheme, free eye tests, car loans, car lease and so much more.
