Brighton, England, United Kingdom Temporary QSW childrens services

Reference: 670918

An experienced and committed Qualified Social Worker is required for an agency Family Court Adviser position based in Brighton. This is an excellent opportunity to use your specialist social work knowledge to support children and families involved in private and public family law proceedings.

You will undertake high-quality assessments of children and their circumstances, ensuring that their welfare, wishes and feelings remain central to all recommendations. The role will involve gathering and analysing information from children, parents, carers and other professionals, identifying risks and protective factors, and preparing clear, evidence-based reports for the family courts.

You will provide professional advice regarding safeguarding, contact arrangements, living arrangements and other issues affecting children. You will also be expected to participate in court hearings, present your recommendations confidently, respond to questions from legal representatives and work constructively with solicitors, barristers, local authorities and partner agencies.

The successful candidate will be a registered Social Worker with substantial post-qualifying experience, ideally within children and families, child protection, court work or a related safeguarding setting. You must have a sound understanding of relevant legislation, statutory guidance and social work practice, alongside the ability to assess complex information and make balanced, defensible decisions.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to manage a varied caseload effectively and meet strict deadlines. You will need to work independently, maintain accurate records and demonstrate resilience when working with conflict, distress and challenging family dynamics. A current Social Work England registration and relevant safeguarding experience are required; experience of family court proceedings would be highly advantageous.

This agency opportunity offers a varied caseload, professional responsibility and the chance to make a meaningful difference to children and families. Applicants must be available to work in the Brighton area and be able to attend court and other meetings as required.
