Children's SW - SASH Team - Hertfordshire
We are seeking an experienced and committed Children’s Social Worker to join a specialist SASH team supporting children and young people who may be experiencing safeguarding concerns, exploitation, trauma, or other complex needs. You will undertake high-quality assessments, develop effective plans, and provide purposeful intervention that promotes safety, stability, and positive outcomes. The role will involve working directly with children, young people, parents, carers, and professionals across health, education, police, and other partner services.
Your responsibilities will include managing a varied caseload, completing assessments within statutory timescales, identifying and responding to risk, and contributing to child protection enquiries, strategy discussions, reviews, and care planning. You will build trusted relationships with children and families, ensuring their voices and lived experiences are central to decision-making. You will also maintain accurate case records, prepare clear reports, contribute to legal proceedings where required, and advocate effectively for children and young people.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England, together with relevant post-qualifying experience in children’s social care. You should have sound knowledge of safeguarding legislation, statutory guidance, assessment frameworks, and evidence-based practice, as well as experience working with complex or high-risk situations. Strong communication, organisation, analytical, and report-writing skills are essential. You will be expected to work collaboratively, demonstrate professional curiosity, manage competing priorities, and remain calm and reflective when dealing with challenging circumstances. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, participation, and improving outcomes for children and families is vital. The ability to travel between appointments and professional meetings may be required.
