Social Work Academy

The “Outstanding” Coventry Social Worker

In Coventry, our Social Workers combine long‑standing professional values with contemporary, evidence‑informed thinking to ensure that the child is at the beginning, middle, and end of everything we do. Our practice is rooted in relationships, curiosity, and a commitment to understanding each child’s lived experience.

We are looking for passionate, dedicated practitioners who share our determination to create real, positive change for children and families. We value the expertise our Social Workers bring, and we listen to their ideas, perspectives, and professional wisdom. Together, through shared learning and shared responsibility, we make meaningful change happen.

This is an exciting time to join Coventry Children & Education Services. We are strengthening our restorative practice, embedding the Family Valued approach, and ensuring that children remain firmly at the centre of our work. We want Social Workers who are committed to achieving the very best outcomes for children, young people, and families—and who want to grow within a service that invests in them.

To help you make a difference, we offer:

• high‑quality professional support and guidance
• excellent training and development opportunities
• a culture of high support and high challenge
• a strong, values‑driven community of practitioners

In Coventry, you will be part of an outstanding service where practice can flourish, where your voice matters, and where you can build a career that truly changes lives.
