Progress Your Career. Stay in Practice. Lead Without Leaving What You Love. A rare opportunity for genuine career progression without moving into management - our Principal Social Worker role offers a Team Manager salary while keeping you at the heart of direct practice. The Service and Team Cornwall isn't just a fantastic place to live - it's an inspiring place to grow your social work career. Fresh from our 'Good with Outstanding features' Ofsted judgement (July 2024), we're a service on the rise: ambitious, bold and focused on delivering real impact for children and families. Our transformed Family Help model brings together the best of Early Help and Child in Need practice, codesigned with practitioners to deliver more effective, truly child centred support. We're investing where it counts: our specialist Parent Assess team delivers high quality inhouse assessments, and every Family Help Team is strengthened by an Integrated Family Domestic Abuse Support Advisor and dedicated clinical psychology input, ensuring a confident response to domestic abuse and complex needs. We champion meaningful family participation through Family Group Conferencing, Family Led Meetings and consistent use of genograms and ecomaps. Families also benefit from our award winning Family Information Service, a strengthened parenting offer and one of the best care leaver services in the country. Ofsted recognised the strength of our culture and approach: "Senior leaders and politicians are relentless in their drive to continue to improve the lives of Cornwall's children and families Staff's care, commitment and child focused approach shine through." - Ofsted, July 2024.

Our Principal Social Worker role changes that. This is a specialist practice leadership position, paid at Team Manager level, designed for experienced practitioners who want to influence practice quality while staying close to children, families and frontline work. As a Principal Social Worker, you will hold a small caseload of direct work, deputise for your Team Manager, and play a key role in developing the skills, confidence and professional curiosity of your team. You'll be supported by a comprehensive core learning offer and a clear qualification and career pathway, giving you the structure and space to continue developing your expertise. We value continuous learning and recognise its impact on outcomes - with progression and rewards that reflect your contribution. Roles are available in teams across the county, including Family Help, Children in Care, Kinship, Family Plus, and the Disabled Children & Therapy Service. This is a public/customer-facing role, where the statutory English language requirement for public sector workers applies.

Clinic Overview This clinic is a fast-growing healthcare network offering comprehensive, multidisciplinary medical services across several locations in Ontario. With a strong focus on collaborative care, the group integrates family physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, bloodwork technicians, and social workers under one roof, ensuring patients receive complete, coordinated care in one convenient setting. Each clinic is modern and fully equipped, featuring two examination rooms per physician, an in-house pharmacy, and a comfortable, patient-friendly environment. Physicians benefit from efficient administrative systems, an experienced management team, and full operational support from the head office, including billing, finance, marketing, and compliance services. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Attractive Compensation Model: Earn $40,000-$70,000 per month in billings. 20% overhead Performance-based bonuses available, including incentives tied to in-house pharmacy services, referrals, and clinic growth. Sign-on and relocation support available upon request. Physicians interested in entrepreneurship may also join the Clinic Partnership Program, which allows them to operate their own clinic under the brand with head office support. Comprehensive Support System: In-house billing services managed by a dedicated financial team. Fully trained MOAs (1-2 per physician), each with 5+ years of experience and medical backgrounds. Multidisciplinary team: On-site nurses, nurse practitioners, and senior physicians ensure smooth patient care and knowledge sharing. Central management structure: Includes clinic managers, operations directors, a financial controller, and a marketing team that assists with patient acquisition and retention. Flexible Work Structure: Work 4 days per week with 20-30 patients per day. No evening or weekend shifts required. Option to work from home available for virtual consultations. Physicians have freedom to set their own hours based on clinic capacity and personal preference. Professional Development: This group actively supports doctors who wish to develop special interests in areas such as women's health, geriatrics, chronic disease management, or other clinical subspecialties. The management team provides mentoring, training, and patient flow support to help build these focus areas. Why This Location Stands Out Unique Area Highlights : You get the advantage of "edge city" living - a neighbourhood with more breathing room than downtown but full access to the metropolis. Scenic natural landmarks line some parts, offering a blend of urban convenience and nature. Housing & Cost of Living : This area offers a relatively more affordable entry into the Toronto market - overall cost of living is about 11 % lower than the Toronto average in many comparisons. Amenities : You get full access to a major city's infrastructure: top-tier hospitals and medical facilities; extensive retail, dining, and cultural districts; and strong public transit connections (subways, buses) linking you across the greater metropolitan region. Safety : In many neighbourhoods close to this area, crime rates are comparable to or slightly below national averages. Overall, residents often regard this side as safer than inner-city downtown cores. Schools & Childcare : The region is home to many public and private schools offering strong academic programs, with language immersion options in many districts. Transport / Airport Access : Proximity to Toronto Pearson International Airport gives you strong global connectivity. At the same time, local transit (subway lines, bus networks) provides efficient access to hospitals, clinics, and research hubs across the city. Recreational & Lifestyle Highlights : You will enjoy a rich mix of green space and city life - local ravines, parks, trails, and waterside access, plus vibrant cultural and food scenes reflecting diverse communities. Climate : You get the full four seasons: warm, pleasant summers; colourful autumns; snow in winter but mitigated by city services; and fresh springs. It is a climate that supports both urban life and nature escapes. Multiculturality : This area is among the most diverse in the region: a very high proportion of residents are immigrants or children of immigrants, and visible-minority communities make up a large share of the population. CloserMed's Free Services for Physicians We understand how important of a decision this is and the challenges involved. CloserMed is here to help. Here are some of the ways we can provide support: Step-by-step licensing support Immigration and LMIA support Income planning and projections Area guidance: housing, schools, transportation, etc. Requirements Family Physician Specialty Training from the UK, Canada, Ireland or USA.

Overview Leeds Baby Bank has an exciting opportunity for an experienced, hands on leader to join the charity as Director! About us At Leeds Baby Bank our mission is to ensure no child goes without. For over nine years, we have supported families across Leeds with children aged 0-5 years who are experiencing poverty. We provide essential items such as bed bundles, nappies and toiletries, baby baths, potties, highchairs, prams and buggies, clothing, toys and books. Over the past nine years, Leeds Baby Bank has developed a strong reputation for delivering dignified, non judgemental support to families across the city. During this time, the charity has grown in reach, partnerships and impact, responding flexibly to changing levels of need while remaining rooted in community values. Families accessing Leeds Baby Bank often face multiple and overlapping challenges, including poverty, housing insecurity, poor physical and mental health, domestic abuse, immigration issues and social isolation. The charity frequently works alongside other frontline services as part of a wider, coordinated response to family crisis rather than as a one off intervention. Families are referred to Leeds Baby Bank by trusted professional partners including midwives, health visitors, social workers and community organisations. Alongside our referral based service, we deliver outreach support in community settings across Leeds, offering essential items, advice, signposting and a welcoming, non judgemental space for families. How we work in practice Leeds Baby Bank operates in a fast paced, demand led environment where priorities can change quickly in response to family need, funding opportunities or external pressures. Demand regularly outstrips available resources, requiring careful judgement about how support is prioritised. The Director will be comfortable making decisions with incomplete information, balancing risk, capacity and impact where there is no single "right" answer. Our values and approach Leeds Baby Bank is rooted in compassion, dignity and community. We are committed to providing non judgemental, strengths based and trauma informed support that recognises the complex experiences faced by families living in poverty. We work in ways that are inclusive, respectful and accessible, and actively challenge stigma and barriers to help. About the role The Director is the charity's most senior employee and is responsible for the day-to-day running and management of Leeds Baby Bank, working with minimal day-to-day supervision and within the delegated authority agreed by the Board of Trustees. Decisions will be taken in line with the charity's Scheme of Delegation and relevant policies. This is a senior, hands on leadership role within an established, community rooted charity with a stable core service and areas of ongoing development. The Director will lead paid staff, volunteers, partnerships and services, balancing strategic leadership with operational delivery. The Director has direct line management responsibility for all paid staff and holds overall responsibility for staff structure, roles, performance management, conduct, development and wellbeing, supported by appropriate policies and the Board of Trustees. The Director is accountable to the Board of Trustees for the charity's performance, sustainability, impact, safeguarding, compliance, financial health and reputation. Benefits Benefits: auto enrolment pension, TOIL and learning opportunities. Location: Leeds Baby Bank, 93 Wellington Road, LS12 1DZ Office based role: This is an office based role requiring regular on site presence. Some flexibility to work from home may be agreed by arrangement, in line with the needs of the charity and the role. The role may also involve attending meetings, networking events or partnership activity outside the office, including occasional early mornings, evenings or weekends. Time off in lieu is offered in accordance with the charity's policies and procedures. Free parking available and on a major bus route. Leeds Baby Bank is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We value lived experience and are committed to making reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process.

Over the past nine years, Leeds Baby Bank has developed a strong reputation for delivering dignified, non judgemental support to families across the city. During this time, the charity has grown in reach, partnerships and impact, responding flexibly to changing levels of need while remaining rooted in community values. Families accessing Leeds Baby Bank often face multiple and overlapping challenges, including poverty, housing insecurity, poor physical and mental health, domestic abuse, immigration issues and social isolation. The charity frequently works alongside other frontline services as part of a wider, coordinated response to family crisis rather than as a one off intervention. Families are referred to Leeds Baby Bank by trusted professional partners including midwives, health visitors, social workers and community organisations. Alongside our referral based service, we deliver outreach support in community settings across Leeds, offering essential items, advice, signposting and a welcoming, non judgemental space for families. How we work in practice Leeds Baby Bank operates in a fast paced, demand led environment where priorities can change quickly in response to family need, funding opportunities or external pressures. Demand regularly outstrips available resources, requiring careful judgement about how support is prioritised. The Director will be comfortable making decisions with incomplete information, balancing risk, capacity and impact where there is no single "right" answer. Our values and approach Leeds Baby Bank is rooted in compassion, dignity and community. We are committed to providing non judgemental, strengths based and trauma informed support that recognises the complex experiences faced by families living in poverty. We work in ways that are inclusive, respectful and accessible, and actively challenge stigma and barriers to help. About the role The Director is the charity's most senior employee and is responsible for the day-to-day running and management of Leeds Baby Bank, working with minimal day-to-day supervision and within the delegated authority agreed by the Board of Trustees. Decisions will be taken in line with the charity's Scheme of Delegation and relevant policies. This is a senior, hands on leadership role within an established, community rooted charity with a stable core service and areas of ongoing development. The Director will lead paid staff, volunteers, partnerships and services, balancing strategic leadership with operational delivery. The Director has direct line management responsibility for all paid staff and holds overall responsibility for staff structure, roles, performance management, conduct, development and wellbeing, supported by appropriate policies and the Board of Trustees. The Director is accountable to the Board of Trustees for the charity's performance, sustainability, impact, safeguarding, compliance, financial health and reputation.

Clinic Overview This clinic is a fast-growing healthcare network offering comprehensive, multidisciplinary medical services across several locations in Ontario. With a strong focus on collaborative care, the group integrates family physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, bloodwork technicians, and social workers under one roof, ensuring patients receive complete, coordinated care in one convenient setting. Each clinic is modern and fully equipped, featuring two examination rooms per physician, an in-house pharmacy, and a comfortable, patient-friendly environment. Physicians benefit from efficient administrative systems, an experienced management team, and full operational support from the head office, including billing, finance, marketing, and compliance services. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Attractive Compensation Model: Earn $40,000-$70,000 per month in billings. 20% overhead Performance-based bonuses available, including incentives tied to in-house pharmacy services, referrals, and clinic growth. Sign-on and relocation support available upon request. Physicians interested in entrepreneurship may also join the Clinic Partnership Program, which allows them to operate their own clinic under the brand with head office support. Comprehensive Support System: In-house billing services managed by a dedicated financial team. Fully trained MOAs (1-2 per physician), each with 5+ years of experience and medical backgrounds. Multidisciplinary team: On-site nurses, nurse practitioners, and senior physicians ensure smooth patient care and knowledge sharing. Central management structure: Includes clinic managers, operations directors, a financial controller, and a marketing team that assists with patient acquisition and retention. Flexible Work Structure: Work 4 days per week with 20-30 patients per day. No evening or weekend shifts required. Option to work from home available for virtual consultations. Physicians have freedom to set their own hours based on clinic capacity and personal preference. Professional Development: This group actively supports doctors who wish to develop special interests in areas such as women's health, geriatrics, chronic disease management, or other clinical subspecialties. The management team provides mentoring, training, and patient flow support to help build these focus areas. Why This Location Stands Out Unique Area Highlights : You get the advantage of "edge city" living - a neighbourhood with more breathing room than downtown but full access to the metropolis. Scenic natural landmarks line some parts, offering a blend of urban convenience and nature. Housing & Cost of Living : This area offers a relatively more affordable entry into the Toronto market - overall cost of living is about 11 % lower than the Toronto average in many comparisons. Amenities : You get full access to a major city's infrastructure: top-tier hospitals and medical facilities; extensive retail, dining, and cultural districts; and strong public transit connections (subways, buses) linking you across the greater metropolitan region. Safety : In many neighbourhoods close to this area, crime rates are comparable to or slightly below national averages. Overall, residents often regard this side as safer than inner-city downtown cores. Schools & Childcare : The region is home to many public and private schools offering strong academic programs, with language immersion options in many districts. Transport / Airport Access : Proximity to Toronto Pearson International Airport gives you strong global connectivity. At the same time, local transit (subway lines, bus networks) provides efficient access to hospitals, clinics, and research hubs across the city. Recreational & Lifestyle Highlights : You will enjoy a rich mix of green space and city life - local ravines, parks, trails, and waterside access, plus vibrant cultural and food scenes reflecting diverse communities. Climate : You get the full four seasons: warm, pleasant summers; colourful autumns; snow in winter but mitigated by city services; and fresh springs. It is a climate that supports both urban life and nature escapes. Multiculturality : This area is among the most diverse in the region: a very high proportion of residents are immigrants or children of immigrants, and visible-minority communities make up a large share of the population. CloserMed's Free Services for Physicians We understand how important of a decision this is and the challenges involved. CloserMed is here to help.

At Cafcass, we're recruiting Children's Social Workers who share our passion, commitment and ambition to facilitate positive outcomes for children involved in private and public law family court proceedings. Our Social Workers - professionally known as Family Court Advisers (FCAs) - play a vital role. You might work within Private Law team, where there is disagreement on the best arrangements for the welfare of the child(ren) involved), a Public Law team, where local authorities have raised serious welfare concerns, or a converged team covering both law types.

As the only organisation that does this kind of work, FCAs can make recommendations leading to lasting change for children and families, which is why this is a responsibility we take seriously. And why we're committed to creating a safe, healthy and supportive environment for our colleagues to practice. As part of this early analysis, FCAs will also write assessments to the court, providing clear and succinct recommendations and professional advice.

Apply your expertise in risk assessment, analysis and mediation, advocating for solutions that place the child's safety, wellbeing and long term interests at the centre of decision making. Work with adults, local authorities, and a wide range of professionals to help resolve complex issues and influence better outcomes for children.

You can view the full job description in the vacancy documents. Where you'll work Our Social Workers work flexibly across multiple settings - including the office in Birmingham, home, courts, schools and other appropriate, safe locations, and we ensure you have the technology to do this. Shared learning is very important to us, and we bring our teams together regularly, both remotely and in-person, for team meetings and group supervision, which creates space to connect with peers and managers, reflect on practice, and feel supported. You'll also have regular 1:1 time with your manager, especially during your induction, and again there will be a balance between doing this remotely and in-person, so you have opportunities to form in-person connections.

We re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support.

We re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support.
