Children's SW - Locality Team - Devon

Newton Abbot, England, United Kingdom Temporary Children and families

Reference: 670442

We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a supportive Locality Team working with children, young people and families. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by promoting children’s safety, wellbeing and development, while helping families achieve positive and lasting change.

You will manage a varied caseload involving children in need, child protection, looked-after children and care proceedings. Your responsibilities will include completing comprehensive assessments, developing and reviewing plans, undertaking statutory visits, producing high-quality reports and maintaining accurate case records. You will work collaboratively with children, parents, carers and professionals across education, health, police and other services to ensure that children’s needs remain at the centre of decision-making.

The role requires you to identify risk effectively, respond promptly to safeguarding concerns and use professional judgement to make proportionate decisions. You will contribute to reviews, strategy discussions and multi-agency meetings, advocate for children’s wishes and feelings, and support plans that promote stability, permanence and improved outcomes. You will also be expected to participate in supervision, reflective practice and ongoing professional development.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have experience of working with children and families in a statutory or relevant social care setting, along with a sound understanding of safeguarding legislation, statutory guidance and child development. Strong assessment, report-writing, communication and organisational skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities and work confidently both independently and as part of a team.

You will be committed to anti-discriminatory practice, respectful partnership working and improving outcomes for children and families. A full driving licence and access to suitable transport may be required, depending on service needs. In return, you can expect regular supervision, opportunities for learning and development, and the chance to contribute to a child-centred service within a friendly and professional team.
