We believe Wolverhampton is the best place to be a social worker. We are passionate about excellent social work practice and keeping the people we work with at the centre of everything we do.
We work restoratively with children, young people, adults and families, building strong relationships and connections to help them find long-lasting solutions. We encourage new and innovative ways of working to enable social workers to identify unique and person-centred solutions.
We are a forward-thinking, responsive organisation and want our social workers to spend their time building relationships with families. We focus on teams having manageable workloads and have a clear development pathway alongside a substantial training and development offer which is varied and responsive to practice challenges. Our senior managers and leaders are visible and take the time to listen to frontline employees.
I can confidently say that Wolverhampton has a true learning culture and they create a safe environment whereby practitioners are supported and confident to work with areas of uncertainty.
