At the Isle of Wight Council, we are committed to creating strong, thriving families and communities.

Design and deliver training using a "train the trainer" model, building confidence and expertise across the workforce.
Coach, mentor and support practitioners to embed high-quality practice.

Experience of partnership working across agencies and services.
Excellent facilitation, mediation and relationship-building skills.
Confidence in leading change, developing training and implementing new ways of working.
The ability to analyse information, evaluate impact and drive continuous improvement.

You may be an experienced Social Worker, Practice Educator, Family Group Decision Making Coordinator, Practice Lead or Manager looking for your next challenge and a chance to leave a lasting legacy.

Work-Life Balance
