Descrição da oferta de emprego

We are seeking a qualified and motivated Social Worker to join a Family Help Team supporting children, young people and their families. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by working alongside families to identify strengths, address challenges and improve outcomes for children.

You will manage a varied caseload, completing high-quality assessments and developing effective plans with children and their families. Your responsibilities will include undertaking statutory visits, identifying safeguarding concerns, contributing to multi-agency meetings and reviewing progress against agreed outcomes. You will build positive relationships with children, parents, carers and partner professionals, ensuring that children's voices, wishes and feelings remain central to decision-making.

The role involves providing practical and emotional support, coordinating appropriate services and responding to changing levels of need. You will maintain accurate, timely case records and prepare clear reports for reviews, panels and other formal meetings. Where necessary, you will contribute to child protection processes and care planning, working in accordance with relevant legislation, policies and professional standards.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. You will have experience of working with children and families in a statutory or family support setting, together with a sound understanding of safeguarding, assessment and care planning. Newly qualified Social Workers with relevant placement experience may also be considered, depending on the requirements of the role.

You will need strong communication, organisation and analytical skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and work confidently as part of a multi-disciplinary team. A commitment to relationship-based practice, strengths-based working and continuous professional development is essential. You must be able to travel to visit families and attend meetings across the local area, with access to suitable transport where required.

In return, you will receive professional supervision, opportunities for learning and development, and the chance to work within a supportive team committed to achieving positive and lasting change for children and families.
