Children's SW - Assessment Team - Powys
We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join an Assessment Team, supporting children, young people and families during periods of significant change or concern. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by completing high-quality assessments, identifying risk and need, and helping families achieve safe and sustainable outcomes.
You will manage a varied caseload involving referrals, child protection enquiries, children in need assessments and pre-proceedings work. Your responsibilities will include gathering and analysing information, visiting children and families, developing effective plans, reviewing progress and ensuring that children’s voices, wishes and feelings remain central to all decisions. You will work closely with schools, health professionals, police, legal services and other partner agencies to coordinate support and safeguard children effectively.
The role requires accurate and timely recording, sound professional judgement and the ability to prepare clear reports for meetings, reviews and court proceedings where necessary. You will contribute to team discussions, risk management and service development, while maintaining positive and respectful relationships with children, parents, carers and colleagues. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice and promoting equality, participation and improved outcomes is essential.
You must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Care Wales, or be eligible to register. Experience of working with children and families in an assessment, safeguarding or statutory social work setting is required, together with a sound understanding of relevant legislation, guidance and professional standards. You should be confident managing competing priorities, working under pressure and making evidence-based decisions.
You will need excellent communication, assessment and report-writing skills, along with a full driving licence and the ability to travel to meet children and families across the area. In return, you will receive regular supervision, opportunities for professional development and the support of a committed, multidisciplinary team focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for children.
