Children's SW - DAAT Team - Northamptonshire
We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a specialist Disabled and Additional Needs Team, supporting children, young people and their families to achieve positive outcomes. This is an opportunity to work within a committed, multi-disciplinary environment where children’s voices, safety and wellbeing are central to every decision.
You will manage a varied caseload involving children and young people with disabilities, complex health needs or additional support requirements. Your responsibilities will include completing assessments, preparing and reviewing care plans, undertaking statutory visits and responding appropriately to safeguarding concerns. You will work in partnership with children, parents and carers to identify strengths, assess risk and develop practical, person-centred plans that promote independence and improve quality of life.
The role involves working closely with education, health, early help, care providers and other professionals. You will contribute to multi-agency meetings, prepare clear and analytical reports, maintain accurate case records and ensure that interventions comply with relevant legislation, policies and professional standards. You may also be involved in court work, permanence planning, reviewing placements and supporting transitions into adulthood.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. You should have experience of working with children and families, ideally within statutory children’s services or a specialist disability setting. A sound understanding of safeguarding procedures, child development, assessment frameworks and relevant legislation is essential.
We are looking for a confident and reflective practitioner who can manage competing priorities, make evidence-based decisions and communicate effectively with children, families and professionals. You will need resilience, strong recording skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. A full driving licence and access to a vehicle may be required for this post.
