I am translating a document into Dutch which has been signed by a Senior Social Worker (which is the job title). I am a bit at a loss how to translate the "Senior" bit. I have not enough information to assume it concerns a "Leidinggevende Sociaal Werker", and I only come across "Hoofd Sociaal Werker" in Belgian Google results. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Het gaat om een functienaam, dan is 'ervaren' minder geschikt.
'senior' is beter, zie ook: https://tinyurl.com/wn7uyaar
