We have a wonderful Duty and Assessment Team (DAAT) here at Northamptonshire Children's Trust! The DAAT is the single point of contact for all safeguarding concerns relating to children and young people in Northamptonshire.

Professionals from a range of services that have contact with children, young people, their families and carers collaborate to ensure immediate and prompt responses; their combined knowledge and expertise keep children and young people in Northamptonshire safe from harm and work at pace, completing robust short-term quality assessments of need, ensuring the right service provision is in place.

With a rotating duty element, the team works at pace, completing robust short-term quality assessments of need, ensuring the right service provision is in place. Skilled social workers in these teams are friendly and confident professionals, who can work collaboratively to very tight deadlines and ensure the child's voice is evident throughout.

There are six teams within DAAT, each consisting of a Team Manager, an Advanced Practitioner (who holds complex cases and supports five or six Social Workers/Senior Social Workers and a Newly Qualified Social Worker).

The team is fun and supportive, works hard and at pace, and always ensures there is food available to keep them going! They enjoy each other's company and often bond over a shared lunch. Managers within DAAT are always present and available for the team and pitch in to support whenever required.

We provide the front line, single point of contact for the public and professionals who are making referrals with concerns for children who are at risk of significant harm or who are children in need. Working with a broad range of agencies and services in our region, you will be responsible for responding to new referrals from professionals and members of the public.

You will have the opportunity to work with children and young people on a short-term basis after the initial referral until your cases transfer from the DAAT to other teams.

You will be a qualified social worker, who has completed your ASYE, registered with Social Work England and have the commitment and passion to be at the forefront of delivering best practice and support to children and families.

As an effective communicator you will be able to build positive, strength-based relationships with a diverse range of children, young people and families.

As a Social Worker you will be confident in your analysis and decision making to deliver purposeful and effective social care supported by experienced colleagues and managers.
