This is a highly exciting time to join an innovative and forward thinking team, with training and leadership opportunities to help you develop your career in a supportive environment inclusive of a thorough induction.

This post is open to newly qualified social workers. In line with AWP trust policy all newly qualified social workers (NQSW) will be recruited initially at Band 5 level, regardless of advertised role banding. All NQSW's are expected to successfully complete their ASYE within 2 years of employment, unless there are exceptional circumstances in which case it may be extended for a further 2 years.
