Job description

Job Title: Children’s Social Worker – Duty and Assessment
Location: East Riding of Yorkshire
Rate: £35 per hour

A Children’s Social Worker is required to join East Riding Safeguarding Service. This is a great opportunity to be part of a close-knit team.

What will your responsibilities be?

The Integrated Front Door comprises a Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub, an Early Help Assessment Team, Targeted Family Support Teams, an edge of care team, 3 family hubs, and 5 assessment teams. We are looking for experienced duty and assessment workers to join our assessment team (CAT) at Solihull. The assessment service is made up of five assessment teams, each with 6 social workers and a family support worker. Teams are on duty for one week in five. Whilst on duty, you will be allocated both Section 47 enquiries and Section 17 assessments.

You will be responsible for ensuring that any assessments and interventions are completed within statutory timescales, to a high standard, and ensure that children are being kept safe and happy – with a focus on the voice of the child and strong analysis. Whilst on duty, you will be expected to be in the office with your team, based in our Bridlington office. You will be working within a committed and supportive team, with a manageable workload and the opportunity to make a positive impact in shaping the lives of children and young people. Current caseloads are around 12 families, which tends to be the most we try to allocate unless we have an influx of referrals. WFH arrangements are flexible.

Social workers are expected to be in on their duty days – this will be one week in five and then generally around 1 day per week for their team duty. This can be discussed with the manager but otherwise, you can work from home.

• Supervision and Training available
• Free on-site parking

Qualifications and Experiences:

To be eligible for this role, you must hold a Social Work England registration, be eligible to work in the UK, and possess a full UK driving license. Additionally, you should have post-qualified experience and a degree level or equivalent qualification in Social Work.
