  • About The Role

  • Bexley is an outer London Borough with the best of both worlds, located between the hustle and bustle of London and the Garden of England, Kent. Within the borough we have award winning parks, open spaces and listed heritage sites.

    Bexley has a strong learning and development program, and OFSTED commented on “A well-trained workforce is improving the lives of children and families” 2023.

    Ofsted judged that we provide strong management oversight of practice, that we have a well – embedded practice framework to enable meaningful family focused help, that we offer clear progress in career pathways, a talent management scheme and an environment to enable social work to flourish. We believe deeply in relationship-based practice and ‘Signs of Safety’ is the vehicle enabling us to do this respectfully and in collaboration with the people we are trying to help. 

    Our established family engagement group, FL.A.RE (Family Learning, Advocacy & Restorative Engagement), and children in care forums Positive Journeys, Positive Journeys Seniors and Bexley’s Young Director support us with practice development and delivery. Front line practitioners have the opportunity to learn from our children, young people and families, and be part of this work.

    We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to grow, develop and progress whatever stage of their careers they are at. We offer a comprehensive range of training and professional development opportunities including access to research, group and e-learning, coaching and group supervision. Practitioners are invited to contribute to our learning and development offer in Bexley and to enhance Continuing Professional Development, there is opportunity to co-design and deliver training if this is of interest. We invest in our staff so they can invest in the children, young people and families we support.

    Here in Bexley, we recognise that our greatest asset is our workforce. Staff well-being is important to us, and you will have access to our weekly staff well-being drop-in sessions, our Employee Assistance Programme and our corporate offer of emotional and physical well-being sessions.

    If this sounds exciting and reassuring, get in touch with us. Our workforce is stable with a high level of permanent staff, but we are always looking for practitioners wanting to practice confidently as part of our team making a difference for families and children.

    Do you think you have what it takes to join our team of excellent, creative and dedicated social work professionals?
