Children's SP - MASH Team - Staffordshire

Reference: 670375

We are seeking an experienced and committed Children’s Social Worker to join a Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) team. This is an important role focused on responding to contacts and referrals concerning children and young people, identifying safeguarding risks and ensuring that appropriate support is provided at the earliest opportunity.

Working within a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment, you will gather and analyse information from partner agencies, including education, health, police and other services. You will assess presenting concerns, make informed decisions about thresholds for intervention and contribute to effective information-sharing and risk management. Your professional judgement will help determine whether cases require signposting, early help, statutory assessment or an immediate safeguarding response.

You will complete high-quality assessments, make appropriate referrals and liaise closely with professionals, children and families to understand their circumstances and needs. Where necessary, you will contribute to child protection enquiries, strategy discussions and decisions regarding the most suitable next steps. You will ensure that children’s voices, experiences and welfare remain central to all actions and recommendations.

The successful candidate will hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You will have relevant experience of children’s social care, safeguarding or statutory social work, together with a sound understanding of child protection procedures, legislation and practice guidance. Experience within a MASH, referral and assessment service or similarly complex safeguarding setting would be advantageous.

You will need excellent communication, analytical and organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and make clear, evidence-based decisions under pressure. Accurate case recording, professional curiosity and effective partnership working are essential. You must be able to work flexibly, maintain confidentiality and demonstrate a strong commitment to improving outcomes for children and families.

This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to safeguarding practice while working as part of a supportive, collaborative professional network.
