Children's SW - CSW Team - Kent
We are seeking a committed and experienced Children’s Social Worker to join a dedicated Children’s Social Work team. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children, young people and families by providing purposeful, relationship-based social work that promotes safety, wellbeing and positive outcomes.
You will manage a varied caseload involving children who may require support through safeguarding, child in need, child protection and care proceedings. Your responsibilities will include completing high-quality assessments, identifying risk and need, developing effective plans and reviewing progress regularly. You will work directly with children and families, ensuring their voices are heard and their views are reflected in all decisions.
The role will involve maintaining accurate and timely records, preparing reports for meetings and court, contributing to legal processes where required, and working collaboratively with schools, health professionals, police, foster carers and other partner agencies. You will be expected to assess risk confidently, respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns and make well-evidenced recommendations that prioritise children’s welfare and long-term stability.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. Experience of working with children and families in a statutory setting is essential, together with knowledge of relevant legislation, guidance and safeguarding procedures. You should be able to manage competing priorities, work independently and contribute positively within a supportive team environment.
We are looking for someone who is resilient, reflective and committed to continuous professional development. Strong communication, assessment and report-writing skills are essential, as is the ability to build trusting relationships while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. A full driving licence and access to a vehicle may be required for visiting children and families across the area. In return, you can expect professional support, regular supervision and opportunities to develop your practice within children’s services.
