You will manage a varied caseload involving assessments, child protection enquiries, children in need planning, court work and care proceedings. You will undertake thorough assessments, identify risks and strengths, and develop clear, outcome-focused plans in partnership with children, families and other professionals. The role will involve visiting children regularly, recording information accurately, preparing reports and presenting evidence at meetings and court hearings where required.

Working collaboratively with education, health, police, legal services and partner agencies, you will contribute to effective multi-agency safeguarding arrangements.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. You should have relevant post-qualification experience in children’s social care, including child protection, assessment and court-related work. Strong knowledge of safeguarding legislation, statutory guidance and social work practice is essential, together with excellent communication, assessment and report-writing skills.

You will need to work confidently both independently and as part of a team, manage competing priorities and demonstrate sound professional judgement. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, continuous professional development and improving outcomes for children is essential. A valid driving licence and access to suitable transport may be required for this role.
