Children's SSW - Family Help Team - Warwickshire
An exciting opportunity is available for a Children’s Social Worker to join a Family Help Team supporting children, young people and their families to achieve positive, lasting outcomes. This role is suited to a qualified social worker with experience of working with children and families, or a strong understanding of statutory children’s services and early help practice. You will work collaboratively with families, partner agencies and professionals to identify needs, reduce risk and promote children’s safety, wellbeing and development.
Your responsibilities will include undertaking assessments, developing child-centred plans and reviewing progress regularly. You will manage a varied caseload, complete accurate and timely records, contribute to multi-agency meetings and ensure that children’s voices, wishes and feelings remain central to all decision-making. You will provide purposeful direct work with children and parents, help families build on their strengths, and identify appropriate support where additional or specialist intervention is required. The role may involve responding to safeguarding concerns, managing risk, preparing reports and progressing cases in line with relevant legislation, policies and procedures.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with the appropriate professional regulator. A sound knowledge of child protection, safeguarding practice, assessment frameworks and relevant children’s legislation is essential, together with the ability to assess complex situations and make balanced, evidence-based decisions. You should be organised, resilient and confident communicating with children, families and professionals from a range of backgrounds. A commitment to equality, relationship-based practice and continuous improvement is important. In return, you can expect supportive management, opportunities for professional development, regular supervision and the chance to make a meaningful difference to children and families. A current driving licence and access to suitable transport may be required for this position.
