A role with a difference

As one of our social workers, you’ll be right at the heart of the support we provide residents.

Our Family Safeguarding Approach has transformed how we support families across Oxfordshire – helping them stay safe, strong and together.

Lara

A strengths-based, collaborative model

We focus on what families can achieve, not what’s missing. We work alongside families to build trust, understand their situation, and support lasting change using motivational interviewing and restorative practice.
 

Meet Lara

We have a clear way of working with families. By using the family safeguarding model and working as a team with other professionals, we're able to meet their needs. 

But there is also a big focus on us. We're supported to develop our career and progress. Everyone genuinely values our strengths and listens.

Lara is one of our amazing assistant team managers

"Feedback and suggestions are listened to and acted on – that's really important. I've told my manager, I'm going nowhere!" 

Madaleen loves the opportunities we provide to help her progress and grow her career.

Whole family support

Multi-disciplinary teams bring together children’s social workers and adult specialists (e.g. mental health, domestic abuse, substance misuse).

This means the right support for parents and shared responsibility for safeguarding.

Families lead their own change

They identify their support networks and take ownership of change through Family Group Decision Making.

Structured support for our team

Clear frameworks, shared tools and reflective supervision give our teams the support and consistency they need - with a culture of learning, not blame.
