What We Are Looking For
- Qualified Social Worker: Degree in Social Work (DipSW, BA, or equivalent).
- Professional Registration: Active registration with the SSSC (or eligible to register immediately).
- Justice Experience: Proven track record of writing CJSWRs (experience with domestic abuse reporting is highly advantageous).
