This is an exciting time to join Bromley in transforming services for children. This role provides you with a unique opportunity to be innovative and aspirational for children.
Children's Social Care at the London Borough of Bromley is on a journey of change and improvement and we are seeking highly talented and ambitious people to join us.

At Bromley we have structured career pathways which start from the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment all the way up to Head of Service so there is no journey too big or too small at Bromley. We are launching our Social Work Academy to ensure that we develop and allow our social workers to develop and progress,
You will be joining an ambitious service with strong leadership and clear lines of support. As part of the Bromley Promise there will be a dedicated two week induction programme upon joining us, manageable caseloads, you will work in a small cluster team containing a mixture of just five Social Workers/Seniors and one Team Manager and you will have dedicated time set aside for quality reflective supervision.
We are confident that with your support, we will continue to provide high quality social care services to our children in Bromley as set out in our improvement and transformation plan. In return we ask that you bring your passion, dedication and skills to us.
