We’re currently seeking two qualified Social Workers to join our friendly, supportive, and fast-paced Hastings and Rother Neighbourhood Support Team. No two days are the same as we work with over 5,000 adults, families, and carers whose primary support needs may relate to:

  • Transitions for young people into adult services

Collaboration is key—we work closely with other teams and agencies through a multi-disciplinary approach.

Why Join Us?

We value our people and are committed to your professional growth—whether you’re newly qualified or an experienced practitioner. You’ll benefit from structured support, development opportunities, and exposure to a broad range of cases. We also offer pathways to become a Best Interests Assessor or Practice Educator.

  • Communicate clearly and write effectively
  • Are flexible, organised, and resilient
  • Enjoy working collaboratively and building networks
