Full job description

We are seeking a dynamic and motivated Social Worker who places young people at the centre of their practice. This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful difference by supporting young people as they transition into adulthood.

In this role, you will:

Undertake assessments, care planning, and targeted interventions for young people and their carers with identified social care needs
Work within the legal frameworks that underpin Adult Social Care, applying your knowledge in practice
Use your understanding of commissioning and social inclusion to help achieve positive outcomes
Develop strong knowledge of local community resources and confidently signpost to appropriate services

For Newly Qualified Social Workers, you will complete your Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) during your first year with us. You will benefit from structured support, protected development time, and mentoring to help you build confidence and grow in your role.

If you would like to find out more about the role, we encourage you to contact Gemma Cairney, Team Manager, at [email protected] for an informal discussion.

WHAT WILL I NEED?

A qualified Social Worker, registered with Social Work England, with a genuine passion for supporting young people

Knowledgeable about transition planning and relevant legislation
A confident communicator with strong partnership-working skills
Motivated, proactive, and solutions-focused

For full details, please refer to the attached Person Specification.

If successful, you will be required to undergo an Enhanced Disclosure through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

Our commitment to safeguarding
Durham County Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all employees and volunteers to share this commitment.

Applicants should be aware that the DBS check will disclose both spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings, in line with current legislation and will confirm whether an individual is barred from working with children, adults, or both.

INTERVIEWS
Interviews will be held on either Tuesday 30th June or Wednesday 1st July 2026.

We operate a guaranteed interview scheme for applicants that can show they meet all the essential criteria and have indicated they have a disability, are a looked after young person, care leaver or a veteran.

OUR OFFER TO YOU
We offer a competitive rewards package that includes attractive salaries, a generous annual leave entitlement of 27 days (rising to 32 after five years continuous local government service), membership of the excellent contributory career average Local Government Pension Scheme, and a range of flexible working arrangements including hybrid working (home and office) where applicable.
