Working in children and families social care services

If you are a qualified, experienced social worker or senior practitioner and looking to invest further in your job and career, then think about joining The City of Edinburgh Council and working in one of our children's practice teams.

We also have opportunities for newly qualified social workers who want to start their career in children's social work.

Here in the Children and Families Department, we have put together lots of information to help you decide if Edinburgh, and what we have to offer, is for you.

We hope the information will also be of general interest to all qualified social workers who are thinking about working with us here in Edinburgh either with children or adults in our Health and Social Care Department.
