Children's SW - CP Team - Knowsley
An experienced Children’s Social Worker is required to join a busy Child Protection Team, working with children, young people and families where there are concerns about safety, welfare and safeguarding. You will manage a varied caseload, complete timely and high-quality assessments, and develop effective plans that promote positive outcomes for children. The role involves undertaking statutory visits, contributing to child protection enquiries, preparing reports for conferences and court proceedings, and maintaining accurate, up-to-date case records.
You will work collaboratively with children, parents, carers and professionals across education, health, police and other partner agencies. Responsibilities will include identifying risk, responding to safeguarding concerns, participating in strategy discussions, reviewing plans and taking appropriate action where circumstances change. You will be expected to build trusting relationships while maintaining professional curiosity, sound judgement and a clear focus on children’s welfare. The successful candidate will also contribute to team discussions, reflective practice and service development, while managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with the relevant professional body. You should have substantial experience in statutory children’s social care, including child protection, assessment, court work and care planning, together with a sound understanding of relevant legislation, statutory guidance and safeguarding procedures. Strong written and verbal communication skills, effective organisation and the ability to work confidently both independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team are essential. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, participation, evidence-based decision-making and improving outcomes for children and families is required. A current driving licence and access to transport may be necessary for this role, subject to local travel requirements.
