Are you a Life Changer? Do you want to lean in and transform the life of a child?
Compass Community puts children first through our therapeutic, innovative approach. Integrity, Courage and Care shape how we work. We listen deeply, challenge each other and fix what needs fixing, together.
This is the work. And we’d like you to be part of it.
Compass Fostering are looking for a knowledgeable Supervising Social Worker to join our team. Based from our Worcester office, you will support a caseload primarily across Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, though this may flex in line with service needs.
This is a hybrid role, with office attendance only required a few times per month. The remainder of your time will be spent working from home and visiting foster carers and young people across the region.
This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled Social Worker to influence and effect change within our dynamic organisation. Whether you are an experienced Supervising Social Worker or looking for a fresh challenge, Compass will support and encourage your continued development.
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.
