This role is for a Senior Social Worker to join our team of experienced professionals working with children with disabilities and their families.

The post is co-located with other colleagues involved in the lives of children with disabilities and their families. The Children with Disabilities Team works with children from initial referral through to adult services if required. The successful candidate's duties will include:

• Assessing the needs of children with disabilities and their families
• Developing individualised plans and chairing meetings to ensure plans are on track in partnership with parents/carers and other professionals involved in the child's life
• Using a range of interventions and skills to engage children, young people, and their families in working towards the objectives of their individual care plans and ensuring that the voice of the child is heard
