“This is the future of social work, this type of work is what we all came into social work to do”
Stephen Rice, Consultant Social Worker In Hackney we’re getting to the essence of social work …
We have implemented an exciting model in Hackney. Our aim is to be the leading social work service for children and families in the country, and to reduce the number children in care by providing intensive and high quality therapeutic and practical support for families. We have several units up and running and are now recruiting skilled Social Workers, who are committed to an evidence based approach and are excited about the impact we can have with the children and families we work with in Hackney.
Social work is a complex task. Over the years we believe that this has been largely forgotten. Social workers need good support from the organisation they work for, freedom to practise at a high level and a range of intellectual abilities and emotional resilience to bring to the task. In short, social workers need to be highly professional. These are the type of people that we want working for us in Hackney.
We understand the importance of offering development opportunities and appropriate support and remuneration and we plan to equip people with the skills needed to be excellent social workers.
