Senior Assessing Social Worker

Join St. Michael’s Fellowship at a pivotal moment of change.

St. Michael’s Fellowship is evolving.

We are reshaping our residential and outreach services into a fully integrated family assessment and support pathway, designed to provide high-quality, relationship-based work with families while delivering robust, evidence-informed assessments for courts and local authorities.

Our residential parenting assessments remain at the heart of what we do—but we are strengthening how we work:

· clearer professional roles

· stronger practice frameworks

· greater continuity for families

· a renewed focus on quality, reflection and impact

We are building a service that is:

· relational and trauma-informed

· analytically rigorous

· confident in its professional voice

This is an opportunity to be part of something purposeful, helping shape a service that makes a real difference in the lives of children and families.
