Children's AP - Family Safeguarding Team - Bury

Reference: 670868

An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Children’s Advanced Practitioner to join a Family Safeguarding Team in Bury. This is a key role for a qualified social worker who is committed to improving outcomes for children, young people and their families through strengths-based, relationship-focused practice.

You will manage a complex caseload involving children and families requiring safeguarding intervention, undertaking high-quality assessments, planning and reviewing appropriate support. You will work collaboratively with children, parents, carers and partner agencies to identify risk, promote safety and achieve sustainable change. Your responsibilities will include preparing reports, contributing to meetings and reviews, presenting evidence where required, and ensuring that decisions are clearly recorded and informed by legislation, policy and professional standards.

As an Advanced Practitioner, you will provide practice leadership and support to colleagues, helping to develop confident, reflective and evidence-informed social work. You may provide case consultation, contribute to supervision, support newly qualified and less experienced practitioners, and promote consistent use of safeguarding approaches across the team. You will also be expected to contribute to quality assurance, learning, service development and the continuous improvement of outcomes for children.

Applicants must hold a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You will have substantial experience in children’s social care, including child protection, assessments, care planning and working with families experiencing complex needs. Strong knowledge of relevant legislation, safeguarding procedures and court processes is essential, alongside excellent communication, organisation and professional judgement.

You will need to work effectively in a busy, multi-agency environment, manage competing priorities and maintain accurate, timely records. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, participation, restorative approaches and the voice of the child is essential. The role may require travel to visit children and families across the local area, so flexibility and the ability to work independently are important.
