Make a Real Difference. Join Us as a Children’s Social Worker.
Are you a passionate Social Worker who has completed the ASYE and wants to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children, young people and families?
We’re recruiting across our Children’s Social Care teams in the East Riding – and this could be your next great move.
Why East Riding?
We’re proud to be a ‘Good’ Local Authority, committed to giving Social Workers the support, tools and environment they need to thrive. Our practice is strengths-based, child-centred and grounded in strong professional values. We want to be the destination of choice for practitioners seeking a fulfilling, purpose-driven career.
Social Workers at East Riding benefit from reimbursement of Social Work England fees, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, staff discounts, health and wellbeing initiatives, car lease and salary sacrifice schemes, mileage cost contributions, and excellent training opportunities within a learning-focused organisation that actively supports career progression.
Your Role
As a Social Worker with us, you’ll champion the voice of the child and work relationally with families and partners to create lasting, positive change. You’ll play a key part in shaping excellent practice and ensuring children’s experiences are at the heart of every decision.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
