Social Work England are the specialist regulator for social work in England, focused on enabling positive change in social work. Every day, social workers support millions of people to improve their chances in life. We are taking a new approach to regulating social workers in their vital roles. We believe in the power of collaboration and share a common goal with those we regulate – to protect the public, enable positive change and ultimately improve people’s lives.
As one of the Heads of the Legal team, you will be jointly responsible for leading, line-managing and developing the team, influencing and ensuring delivery of Social Work England’s strategic business objectives, and facilitating the provision of high quality internal and external legal advice across the organisation. You will provide legal and strategic input into our project, policy and strategy work, to ensure that we comply with the law, protect the organisation, and seek any legislative amendments we need. You will work closely with the Executive Leadership Team, Assistant Directors, other Heads of functions, the Board, the Department for Education sponsor team and external legal providers to manage legal risk and drive a culture of legal awareness and compliance. As this role focuses on our regulatory functions, you will work particularly closely with colleagues in the Regulation directorate who deliver our registration and fitness to practise functions and are developing our new in-house advocacy service.
