Are you a passionate and experienced Social Worker ready to change lives and shape futures? Join a team where your creativity, compassion and confidence are not only valued – they are essential.

Every day in Wandsworth, Social Workers are helping families write new chapters in their lives. Through a family-led approach, we empower children and their families to overcome challenges, build resilience and thrive. As more families reach out for support and transformation, our service is growing – and so is our team. We are expanding to welcome motivated Social Workers who are ready to bring their heart, skill and vision to a place where their work truly matters.

If you are driven by purpose and want to be part of a service that puts relationships at the heart of everything, we want to hear from you.

About the Role

In our newly formed Family Help Service, you will find more than just a job – you will find a place where your voice matters, your ideas are welcomed, and your impact is visible. This is your opportunity to walk alongside families through their most difficult moments and help them find strength, hope and solutions.

You will work in a modern, collaborative environment with a stable, friendly team and strong, visible leadership. You will be part of a small, skilled team where supervision is regular, caseloads are manageable and your time with children and families is protected and purposeful. Our onboarding and induction are quick and efficient, ensuring you feel supported from day one.

Our Approach

We believe in the power of relationships. Our Family Help model is rooted in systemic practice and built on trust, consistency and co-production. You will work with families to create plans that reflect their voices and values – whether under Child in Need, Child Protection or care proceedings.

You won’t be working alone. You will be part of a multi-agency team that includes Children’s Practitioners, Adult Mental Health Practitioners, Substance Misuse and Domestic Abuse Specialists and in-house Family Therapy and Social Care CAMHS teams. Together, we create a wraparound network of support that helps families stay together safely.

Essential Qualifications, Skills and Experience

  • A qualified Social Worker registered with Social Work England, with successful completion of the ASYE.
  • Confident in your knowledge and practice, with experience across voluntary and statutory settings.
  • A natural collaborator and communicator who brings compassion, creativity and clarity to your work.
  • A champion for children and families, with a belief in their potential and a commitment to their rights.

How We Support You

  • You will be part of a small team of five Social Workers with manageable caseloads.
  • Dedicated business support staff work alongside you to reduce admin and free up your time.
  • You will have opportunities to lead, influence and innovate through working groups and service development.
  • Our training offer is second to none: Systemic Psychotherapy (Levels , and ), Practice Educator training, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Practice, Leadership Development and much more.
  • We offer clear career progression through our panel for Senior Social Worker and Advanced Practitioner roles, plus ASYE, Step Up and Apprenticeship pathways.
  • Excellent transport links and a vibrant, supportive working culture.

If you are ready to make a real difference in the lives of children and families and want to do it in a place that values your passion, your practice and your purpose – apply now. Wandsworth is where your next chapter begins.
