South Lanarkshire Council is an ambitious, high performing organisation with a clear vision and programme of action which is designed to improve the lives and prospects of everyone in South Lanarkshire.
The aim of Social Work Resources is to promote social welfare and provide effective care and support to meet the needs of vulnerable people in South Lanarkshire.
In partnership with community planning partners, voluntary and independent provider organisations, we offer a range of services designed to enable, support, improve and protect the health and social care of people using our services.
An opportunity has arisen for a part time social worker post in the Cambuslang Family Support Hub.
Locality-based Family Support Hubs were launched on 27th September 2022 across South Lanarkshire, providing whole family support from pregnancy until 18 years.

Applicants should have a good knowledge of The Promise, Whole Family Wellbeing Approach, Child Protection Procedures and pre-birth assessments and interventions. An ability to work in partnership and preventatively with other agencies and families will also be essential.
For further information on the position please email [email protected].
All applicants must be registered or in the process of registering with Scottish Social Services Council and hold Degree in Social Work qualification or equivalent (or Final Year Degree in Social Work Students as above).
