An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a Safeguarding Team supporting children, young people and families across Worcestershire. You will work within a child-centred, strengths-based service dedicated to promoting safety, stability and positive outcomes for children.

You will manage a varied caseload involving child protection, children in need and other statutory safeguarding matters. Your responsibilities will include completing timely assessments, identifying and managing risks, developing effective plans with families and partner agencies, and ensuring that the child’s voice remains central to all decision-making.

You will undertake statutory visits, contribute to strategy discussions, child protection conferences and review meetings, and prepare clear, analytical reports. Where required, you will initiate or contribute to care proceedings, provide evidence to court and work closely with colleagues across education, health, police and other support services.

The role requires accurate recording, sound professional judgement and the ability to manage competing priorities in a demanding environment.

Experience of child protection procedures, statutory assessments and multi-agency working is essential. Knowledge of relevant legislation, guidance and evidence-based practice is also required.

You will need strong communication, assessment and report-writing skills, together with resilience, organisation and a commitment to reflective practice. The ability to travel between appointments and undertake visits across the area is essential. In return, you can expect professional support, regular supervision and opportunities to develop your career within a collaborative safeguarding environment.
