Mid Essex is at the centre of our county covering the Chelmsford, Braintree, Maldon and surrounding areas. It is a diverse locality to work in, bordering all other areas of the county and you will have the opportunity to work closely with colleagues across Essex County Council. This is also one of our most connected areas of the county, with excellent travel links including direct trains to London.
We currently have several Social Worker opportunities across different teams within Mid Essex, this currently includes opportunities in the following teams:
- Physical & Sensory Impairments Team
- Older Adults Mental Health Team
- Neighbourhood Teams
Team preference can be discussed at interview. Please note that we are currently unable to consider NQSW’s for our Physical & Sensory Impairments team.
Our teams are proud to offer hybrid working, with an expectation to be office based at our office in Chelmsford around 2 to 3 days per week depending on business need for collaborative team working and training.
About You
If you share our vision, enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories you might be interested to find out more about what we do.
If you’re also a Social Worker and registered with Social Work England with that winning combination of creative thought, reliability and practical ability to get things done, we’d really love to hear from you!
You’ll have a broad understanding of our statutory responsibilities and a commitment to meeting these in a person-centred way.
You may have experience of chairing meetings, and you’ll have an ability to develop strong relationships with partner agencies and the local community to provide a supportive framework.
Our Social Worker roles involve travelling around Essex. A driving licence and car - or the ability to meet the mobility requirements of the role through other means - is essential.
