About the Role

Here in Trafford Children’s Services, our vision is to offer the right help at the right time, ensuring all interventions improve life for children and families. We are ambitious for our children and practitioners, guided by the core value: ‘would this be good enough for my child’?

Our approach is strengths-based, utilizing relational and restorative practices. Our recent Ofsted report highlighted our “relational model of social work practice,” which is well regarded and successfully implemented.

We believe a supportive culture where managers and social workers can thrive is crucial to improving outcomes. To this end, we have invested in a 3-year programme with relational specialists, Strengthening Practice, providing ongoing training and personal development. The 2023 Ofsted report recognized this as a cultural shift supported by strong training to develop necessary skills.

We are recruiting qualified social workers for various parts of our service and would love to hear from you:

Cared for Children and Care Experienced Young People – This service combines our Aftercare and Permanence services into a ‘through care’ approach, supporting children and young people with permanence plans transitioning to being care experienced young people.

In this role, you will support cared-for children and help teenagers and care-experienced young people navigate life’s challenges, move forward, and reach their potential.

Do you have the experience to provide essential care and support for children leaving care, fostering belonging and stability? Are you skilled in working with those with hidden hurt or trauma, coordinating with partners, and making a real difference? If so, this role is for you.
