Location: Royal Victoria Infirmary/Freeman Hospital Newcastle Closing date: 24th May 2026, 11:59 PM Interview date: 10th June 2026 Change lives in a life-changing career When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it s falling apart. Independence is taken and confidence is stolen. Stability no longer exists. The future suddenly feels uncertain. The impact of cancer on young lives is more than medical. And that impact can be felt by entire family. That s why we exist. Our specialist social workers help children and young people with cancer and their families navigate the emotional and practical impact of cancer. We remove barriers, solve problems and prioritise wellbeing. And we stop at nothing to make their voices heard and their unique needs understood, so they can get the right care and support at the right time About the role We are looking for an experienced Social Worker to join our Newcastle Team supporting children and young people diagnosed with cancer. We pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality support tailored to the needs of the children and young people and their families. The work we do is rewarding but also complex and demanding. You will be part of a close-knit Young Lives vs Cancer social work team, working with an established NHS multi-disciplinary team and services in the community. This role is predominantly site-based with an element of occasional working from home as agreed with the line manager. Your contractual base will be both Home and Hospital. This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. A previous conviction is not necessarily a barrier to employment. We encourage qualified applicants to apply, and we will consider each case individually. About you You will be committed to delivering high quality social work support to promote the best outcomes for the children, young people and families we work with. You will need to be resourceful and resilient. You will have a positive attitude and be willing to embrace difference.

You will have: A recognised Social Worker qualification and current registration with Social Work England/ Scottish Social Services Council/Social Care Wales/Northern Ireland Social Care Council Experience working with children, young people and their families/carers in a social care setting. Experience of working in a multi-disciplinary environment, ideally in an NHS setting. Sound knowledge of child and young people development. An understanding of the impact of serious illness for children, young people and their families. Excellent interpersonal skills. What will I gain? For people to reach their full potential, they need the right environment. As a member of Team Young Lives, you ll be made to feel supported, valued and appreciated. Here s how we do it: Flexible working: we re open to working hours outside of 9 - 5 and we can talk through your flexibility requirements at interview stage Wellbeing, Thinking & Growth Days: four days a year to step back from the day-to-day and focus on your own learning and development Generous annual leave allowance Great family/caring leave entitlements Enhanced pension Access to our employee savings scheme To find out more about our benefits package, have a look on our website. Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging At Young Lives vs Cancer, we recognise that opportunities for too many people remain a condition of their sex, ethnicity, class, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation or a combination. This has never been acceptable to us as an organisation. We don t just accept difference, we value it, celebrate it, nurture it and we thrive because of it. We re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support. We know we aren t there yet, and we re passionately committed to taking actions and making changes to be a truly diverse, inclusive and equitable organisation.

AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to tell us about your skills and experiences in your own voice. Accessibility We re committed to providing reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process and we ll always aim to be as accommodating as possible.
