Social Worker - Duty and Assessment Team, Darwen, £39 Hourly, Ongoing, Full Time

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Social Worker to join the Duty and Assessment Team in Darwen, earning a competitive rate of £39 per hour. This full-time locum role offers the perfect chance to put your skills to the test. Blackburn with Darwen Children's Services, recently graded 'good' in its full ILACS Ofsted inspection, is seeking a dedicated professional to cover its Duty, Assessment, and Child in Need Service.

Perks and benefits:

Working as a locum social worker offers incredible flexibility, allowing you to take control of your own schedule, achieve a better work-life balance, and explore different work environments. Immerse yourself in a rewarding role where you can make a meaningful impact every day. Enjoy competitive hourly rates that recognise your expertise and provide financial rewards commensurate with your hard work and dedication.

What you will do:

* Conduct detailed assessments of children and families to identify needs and formulate effective action plans

* Collaborate with team members and other agencies to ensure the best outcomes for children and families

* Manage and prioritise a diverse caseload with efficiency and professionalism

* Attend court as needed and provide reports for legal proceedings related to child protection matters

* Participate actively in team meetings, contributing insights and strategies to help drive service improvements

To thrive in this role, the candidate will have at least three years of post-qualification experience in Duty and Assessment and/or longer-term Safeguarding, Child Protection, and Court work.
