Social Worker - Wide Duty Support (Non–Case Holding Role) - Devon (Fully Remote)

Reference: 670419

We are seeking a qualified Social Worker to provide wide duty support across children’s and/or adults’ social care services in Devon. This is a fully remote, non-case holding role, offering an opportunity to use your professional knowledge and experience to support frontline teams, improve practice and contribute to positive outcomes without carrying a dedicated caseload.

You will provide flexible professional support across a range of duties, which may include reviewing information, advising on social work practice, contributing to assessments and planning, supporting safeguarding activity, preparing reports and assisting with quality assurance. You may also be asked to provide short-term support to services experiencing increased demand, help progress outstanding work and contribute to service improvement initiatives.

The role requires you to work collaboratively with social workers, managers and partner agencies, offering constructive challenge and sound professional advice. You will maintain accurate and timely records, handle confidential information appropriately and ensure your work reflects relevant legislation, statutory guidance, professional standards and local procedures. Although you will not hold cases, you will need to exercise professional judgement and respond confidently to changing priorities.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. You should have recent experience within a social care setting, a strong understanding of safeguarding and assessment frameworks, and the ability to interpret complex information. Experience of working across multiple teams or service areas would be advantageous.

You will be organised, adaptable and confident working independently in a fully remote environment. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, together with strong digital capability and the ability to build effective working relationships virtually. A proactive approach, professional curiosity and commitment to person-centred practice are key to success in this role.

This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified Social Worker seeking varied professional work, flexible remote working and the chance to make a meaningful contribution across services without the responsibility of holding a caseload.
