Oldham, England, United Kingdom Temporary Children and families

Reference: 670415

An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a Family Help Team as an Advanced Practitioner. This role offers the chance to provide skilled, child-centred social work to children, young people and families, helping them achieve positive and sustainable outcomes. You will work within a supportive, multi-disciplinary environment where strengths-based practice, early intervention and partnership working are central to service delivery.

As an Advanced Practitioner, you will manage a varied caseload involving children and families with a range of needs and levels of complexity. Your responsibilities will include undertaking assessments, developing and reviewing plans, completing statutory visits, responding to safeguarding concerns and ensuring that children’s voices, wishes and feelings are at the heart of decision-making. You will work collaboratively with families and partner agencies to identify strengths, reduce risk and promote children’s safety, welfare and development.

You will also provide professional support and guidance to colleagues, contribute to reflective practice and assist with the development of high-quality social work practice across the team. The role may involve supporting less experienced practitioners, contributing to meetings and reviews, and helping to ensure that records, reports and case decisions meet statutory and professional standards. You will be expected to manage competing priorities effectively while maintaining a clear focus on outcomes for children.

Applicants must hold a recognised social work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. Significant post-qualification experience in children’s social care, including child protection and safeguarding practice, is essential. You should have a sound understanding of relevant legislation, statutory guidance and evidence-based interventions, together with strong assessment, analytical, communication and report-writing skills. A commitment to equality, inclusion and relationship-based practice is essential, as is the ability to work flexibly, exercise professional judgement and contribute positively to a collaborative team.
