We are hiring Children’s Social Workers to work in our teams serving children within proceedings in both Private and Public Law. In addition we are seeking Social Workers for our Work to First Hearing team.
Working in the Private and Public Law teams, Children’s Social Workers (or as we will professionally call you - Family Court Advisers) are involved in a combination of cases where either the families require the assistance to agree on the best arrangements for the welfare and safety of the child(ren) involved or the local authority has serious concerns and requests the involvement of Cafcass in the case.
Children’s Social Workers key responsibilities include:
Who we’re looking for
Location
Whilst you may see these roles have contractual base in our Brighton office, our teams work flexibly and remotely, your proximity to the office doesn’t always have to be a critical consideration, as we have office availability for our staff in Brighton, Crawley and Guildford. This hopefully will allow you to work in a way that suits you best.
We provide the resources, equipment, and support, so that individually and collectively, we can be the voice of children and young people when the family court makes critical decisions about their futures.
We provide extensive wellbeing support for colleagues, as well as excellent benefits, all of which we hope encourages you to work within our dedicated team.
Next steps / Timelines
Below we have given you an indication of a timetable we are hoping to work towards, although dates are subject to change.
Closing date: | 17th August 2026 |
Telephone interviews: | Week commencing from 17th August |
Final Interview: | Week commencing from 24th August |

In anticipation of your successful application, we encourage you to review our offer and pre-employment checks process. You are welcome to raise any questions or concerns about these checks during your application, with the assurance that this information will remain confidential.
Successful applicants will undergo various pre-engagement checks, including a Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS).
