You will work collaboratively with children, parents and carers to identify strengths, needs and risks, developing effective plans that promote safety, independence, inclusion and wellbeing.
Key responsibilities will include carrying out child and family assessments, coordinating multi-agency meetings, preparing reports for reviews and panels, responding to safeguarding concerns, and taking appropriate action where children may be at risk of harm. You will also contribute to care planning, short breaks and transition arrangements, working closely with education, health, residential, fostering and specialist services.
