Specialist Social Worker - LCS (Liquidlogic) Development
West London | £39.04 per hour | Non-Case Holding | Hybrid Working
Our client in West London is looking for an experienced Children's Social Worker with strong IT skills and an excellent understanding of LCS (Liquidlogic) to join them in a specialist non-case holding role focused on system and service development.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Children's Social Worker who wants to step away from frontline case holding while continuing to use their professional knowledge and understanding of Children's Social Care.
The primary focus of the role will be LCS (Liquidlogic) form development and improving system functionality, using your understanding of frontline Social Work practice to ensure that forms, processes and workflows effectively support Social Workers and the wider Children's Service.
The Role
This is a non-case holding position, with responsibilities including:
- Supporting the development and improvement of LCS (Liquidlogic) forms
- Reviewing existing forms and identifying opportunities to improve functionality and usability
- Using your frontline Social Work knowledge to ensure forms and workflows reflect the practical needs of Children's Social Care
- Supporting the ongoing development and improvement of the Liquidlogic LCS system
- Identifying where processes, forms and system functionality could be improved or streamlined
- Working with colleagues across Children's Services to understand operational requirements
- Helping translate Social Work practice requirements into practical system developments
- Testing and reviewing developments from a Social Work practice perspective
- Supporting wider service development and continuous improvement
- Helping ensure LCS supports efficient, accurate and effective Social Work recording and practice
About You
We are looking for an experienced Children's Social Worker who combines strong practice knowledge with excellent IT and systems skills.
You will need:
- Social Work England registration
- Right to Work in the UK
- Experience working within Children's Social Care
- Strong knowledge and practical experience of LCS (Liquidlogic)
- Excellent IT and digital skills
- A good understanding of Social Work forms, recording requirements, processes and workflows
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- An interest in LCS form development, systems improvement and service development
- The ability to communicate effectively with both frontline practitioners and colleagues involved in systems and service development
Why Consider This Role?
This is a particularly interesting opportunity for a Social Worker who enjoys the systems and technical side of Social Work practice and wants to develop their career in a different direction.
You'll have the opportunity to use your frontline experience to help shape and improve the systems that Social Workers use every day, without holding a caseload.
Importantly, this remains a Social Worker grade role rather than an IT post, with your Children's Social Work expertise being central to the position.
Pay & Working Arrangements
Pay: £39.04 per hour, in line with the agreed London agency Social Worker pay rate.
Caseload: Non-case holding
Location: West London
Working arrangements: Flexible/hybrid working is available, although some attendance at a West London office will be required.
If you are an experienced Children's Social Worker with strong LCS (Liquidlogic) knowledge and you're interested in moving away from case holding into form development, systems improvement and wider service development, this could be an excellent opportunity to use your Social Work experience in a new way.
