Shropshire Council
Shropshire is excited to offer an amazing opportunity to Social Workers to join one of our Children Looked After Teams which also includes our Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children and Pathways Team. We are an OUTSTANDING Local Authority (as judged by Ofsted) and pride ourselves on keeping our children and young people safe from harm and supporting them and their families to thrive.
About the Role
Working in the Children Looked After Service is a dynamic and exciting opportunity. The position would appeal to a Social Worker who enjoys a varied caseload, enjoys direct work with children and engaging with families with a range of permanence plans including foster care, living with family members or at home with parents and those children with a plan for Special Guardianship. The service also includes opportunities to work with unaccompanied asylum seeking children and young people that have a plan for independence and receive support as relevant care leavers.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
