PERMChildren's SSW - Family Help Team - Gloucestershire

Gloucester, England, United Kingdom Permanent Children and families

Reference: 670404

An exciting permanent opportunity is available for a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a Family Help Team in Gloucestershire. You will work alongside children, young people and their families to provide purposeful, relationship-based support that promotes safety, stability and positive outcomes.

You will manage a varied caseload, completing high-quality assessments and developing effective plans with families. Your responsibilities will include identifying strengths and areas of need, coordinating support, reviewing progress and taking appropriate action where risks escalate. You will work directly with children and young people to ensure their views, wishes and feelings inform planning and decision-making.

The role involves working collaboratively with families and professionals across education, health, early help, youth services, housing and safeguarding partners. You will contribute to multi-agency meetings, maintain accurate and timely records, and ensure that all interventions are proportionate, evidence-based and focused on improved outcomes. Where required, you will undertake statutory social work activity and contribute to child protection processes, care planning and legal proceedings.

You will be expected to build trusting relationships while maintaining professional curiosity and a clear focus on safeguarding. The successful candidate will be confident managing competing priorities, analysing complex information and making sound, defensible decisions. You should be able to communicate clearly in writing and verbally, prepare reports to a high standard and demonstrate a commitment to anti-discriminatory and strengths-based practice.

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 or family support setting is desirable, together with knowledge of relevant legislation, safeguarding practice and assessment frameworks. A full driving licence and access to transport may be required for visiting families across the area.

In return, you will join a supportive, multi-disciplinary environment with opportunities for professional development, reflective supervision and ongoing learning. If you are committed to helping families achieve lasting change and ensuring children are safe, heard and supported, this could be the ideal next step in your social work career.
