We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a Children with Disabilities (CWD) team in London. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children and young people with disabilities and their families, ensuring that their needs are understood, assessed and met through effective, strengths-based social work practice.

You will manage a varied caseload, completing high-quality assessments, plans and reviews in line with statutory requirements. You will work collaboratively with children, parents and carers to identify desired outcomes, assess risk and need, and coordinate appropriate support and services. Your responsibilities will include undertaking child protection enquiries where required, contributing to care planning, completing court-related work when necessary, and ensuring that children’s voices remain central to all decisions.

The role involves close partnership working with education, health, early help, commissioned services and other professionals. You will contribute to multi-agency meetings, advocate for children and families, and help develop creative, person-centred solutions that promote independence, safety, inclusion and improved quality of life.

You will have experience of working with children and families, ideally within a children’s disabilities, safeguarding or statutory social work setting. We are looking for someone who can demonstrate sound professional judgement, strong assessment and analytical skills, and the ability to manage competing priorities effectively.

You should be confident working independently while contributing positively to a supportive team environment. Excellent communication, report-writing and partnership-working skills are essential, along with a commitment to equality, inclusion and improving outcomes for children with disabilities. Regular supervision, professional development and opportunities to broaden your experience will be available.
