We offer employees a competitive salary, generous annual leave, pension benefits and pay annual professional fees on behalf of employees.

In additional to these employee benefits, all social workers receive case supervision and group supervision sessions held in all of our teams.

Practitioners can access our online learning management system.

We also offer a range of lifestyle benefits and believe that wellbeing and a good work-life balance are an integral part of our offer. We have a comprehensive set of policies aimed at supporting an employee’s work-life balance. We do that by providing agile working, homeworking and protected CPD time. 

Our wellbeing strategy is structured into priorities, designed to ensure staff members are happy in their roles. These priority areas in employee health and wellness are listed below:

Personal wellbeing and resilience, work demands, change management, employee voice, effective leadership, and positive relationships.

Additional support can be found in the Employed Counselling Service, Lincolnshire County Council Health and Wellbeing Offer and Mental Health First Aid Scheme. Click here for more.
