Details on the role:

Time limited project opportunity for an experienced qualified children’s Social Worker to work within Shropshire for approximately four months in order to focus on progressing discharge of Care Orders for children placed with parents and applications for Special Guardianship Orders for children already in the care of connected carers or foster carers under Care Orders.

Candidates need to be skilled at organising their diary and keeping focus on task, also experienced and confident enough to be able to work within a small independent team and progress all allocated discharges within the lifetime of this project.
