An exciting opportunity has arisen for a compassionate and motivated Social Worker to join our friendly and highly specialist Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and Metabolic Bone teams, who is passionate about working with children, young people and their families in delivering high‑quality, family‑centred care within a multidisciplinary setting.
About the Team
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Team
The CF team provides care for children and young people aged 0–16 years living with cystic fibrosis. The service supports patients and their families from diagnosis through childhood and adolescence, and into transition to adult services. The team works closely with families to address medical, emotional, social, and practical needs.
Metabolic Bone Team
The Metabolic Bone team delivers specialist care to children with osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease). The service focuses on holistic, individualised support, helping children and families manage the impact of a long‑term condition on daily life, education, emotional wellbeing, and independence.
About You
A qualified Social Worker with current Social Work England registration
Experienced in working with children and families, ideally within health or specialist services.
Confident in managing complex cases and working with long‑term or life‑limiting conditions.
A strong communicator who values teamwork and partnership working
Compassionate, resilient and committed to delivering high standards of care
Reporting into the Clinical Nurse Specialist (Cystic Fibrosis), some of your responsibilities will include:
Provide specialist social work support to children, young people and families affected by long‑term health conditions
Provide emotional, practical and professional guidance, promoting resilience and wellbeing
Undertake holistic assessments and develop family‑centred care plans
Work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team to deliver coordinated, high‑quality care
Advocate for children and families to ensure their voices inform decision‑making
Support families through key stages including diagnosis, hospital admissions and transition to adult services
Maintain accurate records and contribute to service development and quality improvement
At Sheffield Children’s, our purpose is clear: to provide healthier futures for children and young people. Our three strategic aims are Outstanding Patient Care, Brilliant Place to Work, and Leaders in Children’s Health.
We work with partners across local, regional, and national levels to deliver physical and mental healthcare in both acute and community settings. Many of our clinicians are nationally and internationally recognised for their expertise.
We’re proud that 73% of colleagues would recommend Sheffield Children’s as a place to work, placing us among the top five NHS trusts in England — and the top-ranked trust in the North East and Yorkshire — in the latest NHS Staff Survey.
Our nearly 4,000 colleagues bring our CARE values — Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence — to life every day, creating a kind, welcoming environment where patients and families feel safe and supported.
As we approach our 150th anniversary in 2026, we’re excited to keep building our leadership in children's health, improve experiences for patients and staff, and focus on our communities and population health.
We also offer excellent benefits to support your wellbeing, with generous annual leave and pension schemes, health and wellbeing programmes, and exclusive discounts — helping you thrive at work and beyond.
