Job Description:

• Provide reliable, effective social work help and intervention to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in need, ensuring children maintain a reasonable standard of health and development, receive appropriate parenting, and have a sense of permanence. For children with disabilities, take action to minimize the impact of their disabilities so they can lead as normal a life as possible.

• Identify in a timely manner children unable to live at home and take action to secure permanence within a timescale that meets their needs. Address the needs of looked-after children according to their care or pathway plans to ensure they make progress and reach their potential as adults.

• Demonstrate consistent, effective child-centred practice, involving children in assessment, planning, intervention, and review activities. Seek and incorporate their views and wishes, appropriate to their age and understanding, to better understand their world and tailor interventions accordingly.

• Provide professional leadership to enable collaborative working among professionals to meet the needs of children in need, including those with child protection plans, privately fostered children, and care leavers.

• Work with parents and carers to strengthen protective factors and reduce risks, establishing rapport and trust to facilitate positive behavioral changes. When parental cooperation is lacking and safeguarding is at risk, pursue alternative arrangements for the child's upbringing.

• Collaborate with foster carers, special guardians, prospective adopters, and others involved in caring for children to meet their needs, ensure they can live as normal a life as possible, understand their journey to placement, and prepare for their transition to adulthood.
