There has never been a better time to join Westminster as a social worker
A Fairer Westminster is one in which our communities are at the heart of our decision-making and help to determine the city’s future.
Working against the backdrop of one of the most exciting areas in the world, you will have a manageable caseload in which you will support our residents, children, young people, families and carers in finding positive paths in life. Working with various communities and cultures, you will adopt a systemic and relationship-based approach as you create safeguarding and protection plans, handle court work, empower families and improve their future life outcomes.
We encourage and welcome applications from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce representing the communities we serve at all levels. We champion equality, diversity, inclusion and well-being to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, has a sense of belonging and is empowered to be their best; that is the Westminster Way.
Manageable workloads enable staff to focus on their practice, reflect on their work and invest in their professional development. They feel supported by managers and value regular and reflective group and individual supervision. - Ofsted (2019)
Find out what our staff have to say about social work in Westminster
I think obviously Westminster is an outstanding local authority, and I think they are outstanding because of the commitment they have from staff and also because of the resources that are available to them. I think other boroughs could learn from Westminster in providing more resources to their staff.
One of the things that the other local authorities have to adopt is to invest in their social workers, because if you invest in your workers, you invest in your service users.
