We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a dedicated Children with Disabilities (CWD) team in North Yorkshire. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children and young people with disabilities, supporting them to achieve positive outcomes and enjoy safe, fulfilling lives within their families and communities.

You will manage a varied and complex caseload, completing assessments, developing care and support plans, and undertaking statutory work in line with relevant legislation, policy and professional standards. You will work closely with children, parents and carers to understand their needs, strengths and aspirations, ensuring their voices are central to all decisions.

The role will involve safeguarding children, responding to concerns, contributing to child protection processes and managing risk effectively. You will undertake reviews, prepare high-quality reports, attend multi-agency meetings and maintain accurate, timely records. Where required, you will contribute to court proceedings and work collaboratively with education, health, short-break services and other partner agencies.

You will build trusting relationships with families, offering practical advice, challenge and support while promoting independence, inclusion and positive change. The post requires a commitment to strengths-based, child-focused practice and the ability to manage competing priorities in a busy environment.

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 children’s social care or a disability service, together with a sound understanding of safeguarding, assessment and care planning. Strong communication, organisation, recording and analytical skills are essential, as is the confidence to make professional decisions and work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

You will be supported through supervision, professional development and access to relevant training. A full driving licence and the ability to travel across North Yorkshire may be required. A commitment to equality, diversity and anti-discriminatory practice is essential.
