Children's LP - CP Team - London Borough of Hounslow
An experienced and committed Qualified Social Worker is required to join a Children’s Looked After and Child Protection team. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to positive outcomes for children and young people, working within a supportive and collaborative social care environment.
You will manage a varied caseload involving children subject to care proceedings, looked-after children, children in need and those requiring safeguarding intervention. Your responsibilities will include completing high-quality assessments, developing and reviewing care plans, undertaking statutory visits and preparing clear, analytical reports for conferences, reviews and court proceedings.
You will work closely with children, young people, parents, carers and a range of partner agencies to assess needs, manage risk and ensure that plans are purposeful and focused on achieving the best possible outcomes. You will also participate in child protection conferences, looked-after children reviews and legal planning meetings, ensuring that children’s voices and wishes remain central to all decision-making.
The successful candidate will hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You will have relevant post-qualifying experience in children’s social care, including child protection and/or looked-after children work, together with a sound understanding of statutory legislation, safeguarding practice and care planning requirements.
You should be confident managing complex and demanding cases, able to work effectively under pressure and skilled in producing accurate, evidence-based assessments and reports. Strong communication, organisation and partnership-working skills are essential, as is the ability to build trusting relationships with children and families.
The role offers the opportunity to develop your practice while making a meaningful difference to children and young people. A commitment to reflective practice, continuous improvement and positive outcomes is essential. Enhanced safeguarding checks and satisfactory employment references will be required before appointment.
