• Experience working with a range of client groups within an agency.
• Highly skilled at building meaningful relationships with children and families to engage them in assessments and plans.
• Committed to providing high-quality services.
• Experience working in a multi-disciplinary, interagency environment.
• Knowledge of legislation relating to general social work practice.
• 4+ years qualified.

In this role you will:

• Conduct comprehensive assessments of risks, protection, and social care needs.
• Manage an agreed caseload.
