Newham offers enormous potential as a place to live and work. Situated just 3 miles from the City,it is a thriving area which is undergoing a remarkable transformation - rapidly emerging as a centre of commerce and culture. The borough is at the centre of London's 2012 Olympic games. Our recently successful bid will ensure an 80,000-seater stadium built in Stratford - which will also be at the heart of a prestigious new development, Stratford City, comprising 4,500 new homes, nearly half a million square metres of office space, hotels, schools and a shopping centre to rival any in the country.

Newham has the youngest and most diverse population in the UK. Over 40 per cent of the 254,000 people in Newham are under 25 years old and more than 100 languages are spoken locally - from Albanian to Zhuang. All of which makes for an exciting area rich in culture, flavour and atmosphere where local people take great pride in being part of a global village. The borough's youthful vigour and creativity has fused with the traditional East End values of warmth, friendliness, community spirit and good humour to make Newham a welcoming place with a unique character.

To be successful, you will need at least 2 years experience, be in possession of a BSW/MSW and be registered with, or eligible for registration with the General Social Care Council (GSCC) in England.
