We are seeking an experienced Children’s Social Worker to join an Assessment Team in Nottinghamshire. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children, young people and their families by completing timely, child-focused assessments and helping to identify the right support at the earliest opportunity.

You will manage a varied caseload involving children and families with complex needs, including safeguarding concerns, neglect, domestic abuse, parental mental health difficulties and substance misuse. You will undertake statutory assessments, analyse information from a range of sources and develop clear plans that promote children’s safety, wellbeing and development. Where necessary, you will contribute to child protection enquiries, strategy discussions, legal planning and applications to court.

The role involves working closely with children, parents, carers and wider family networks, ensuring their voices and experiences inform all decisions.

Previous experience in children’s social care, particularly within an assessment, safeguarding or duty and assessment service, is required. You should have a sound understanding of relevant legislation, statutory guidance and strengths-based practice, together with the ability to assess risk, exercise professional judgement and manage competing priorities.

The successful candidate will be resilient, reflective and committed to achieving positive outcomes for children. You will need strong communication and relationship-building skills, confidence working with challenging situations and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team. A full driving licence and access to a vehicle may be required for visiting children and families across the area.
