Help us provide care and support to unaccompanied children seeking asylum in the UK


About us


We are a close-knit supportive team of Social Workers and Leaving Care Personal Advisors who work closely together. We run a duty pod system.


About the role


You will be working with unaccompanied children and young people who have previously entered the country in a clandestine way or planned through the National Transfer Scheme. As a Social Worker you will need a wide range of skills including knowledge of immigration systems alongside a knowledge of specialised services on offer in Oxfordshire. The role can be very rewarding as you support a child through their journey of adapting to a new life in the UK.


About you


You would be enthusiastic and passionate about working with unaccompanied children and young people.

We are proud of our strong flexible working culture, including the opportunity for flexibility on working hours and the use of technology to support agile working. We offer some of the very best learning and development opportunities to support your ongoing development.

We have a generous holiday allowance which rises as you remain in employment with us up to 32 days, as well as giving you the option to buy additional holiday. You will also have access to a Local Government Pension Scheme with employer contributions of up to 19.9% of your salary; a range of local and national retail discounts; and a host of enhanced family friendly policies including carers leave and paid time off for volunteering.
