Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of children with disabilities? We’re looking for an experienced and compassionate Qualified Social Worker to join a dedicated Children with Disabilities (CWD) Team in Greater Manchester.
You’ll work in a fast-paced yet supportive environment with flexible working – you manage your diary as long as visits and statutory responsibilities are completed.

Your Role:
As a key member of the Children with Disabilities team, you’ll work with children and families where there are Children in Need, Child Protection, and Court Proceedings. You'll partner with a range of professionals – including health, education, and the police – to ensure the best outcomes and sustainable positive change.

• Excellent assessment, planning, mediation, and communication skills
• Experience working across multi-agency teams
• A passion for delivering person-centred, strength-based interventions

In This Role, You Will:

• Carry out assessments of need, risk, and protection
• Manage your own caseload effectively and independently
• Develop individual care plans that reflect diversity, dignity, and empowerment
• Use advanced communication and interpersonal skills to influence outcomes
• Support students and unqualified staff as part of your professional practice
• Champion best practice and drive positive change
