Children's SW - Referral and Assessment Team - Achieving for Children

Kingston upon Thames, England, United Kingdom Temporary Children and families

Reference: 671052

An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a busy Referral and Assessment Team. You will play a key role in responding to concerns about children and families, completing timely assessments and ensuring that children receive the right support at the right time. This is a rewarding position for a social worker who is committed to improving outcomes and safeguarding children and young people.

Your responsibilities will include screening and responding to referrals, gathering information from children, families and partner agencies, and completing high-quality assessments in line with statutory guidance. You will identify risks, strengths and unmet needs, formulate clear plans, and make informed recommendations about appropriate services and interventions. You will manage a varied caseload, maintain accurate and up-to-date records, and ensure that children’s voices, wishes and feelings remain central to your practice.

You will work closely with education, health, police, housing and other professionals to coordinate effective multi-agency responses. The role may involve undertaking child protection enquiries, contributing to strategy discussions, attending meetings and preparing reports for legal proceedings where required. You will promote positive relationships with families while taking decisive action when children are at risk of harm, and you will contribute to ongoing service development and reflective practice.

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 in a statutory or closely related setting, with a sound understanding of safeguarding procedures, relevant legislation and assessment frameworks. Strong communication, organisation and report-writing skills are essential, together with the ability to prioritise competing demands and work confidently under pressure.

We are looking for a compassionate, resilient and professional practitioner who can demonstrate sound judgement, effective partnership working and a commitment to anti-discriminatory practice. In return, you will receive regular supervision, opportunities for professional development and the chance to make a meaningful difference to children and families.
