Children's AP - C&F Team - North Yorkshire

Reference: 671092

An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified Children’s Advanced Practitioner to join a Children and Families social work team in North Yorkshire. This is a rewarding role for an experienced social worker who is committed to improving outcomes for children, young people and their families.

You will manage a varied and complex caseload, undertaking high-quality assessments and developing effective plans that promote children’s safety, wellbeing and permanence. Your responsibilities will include completing statutory visits, reviewing care plans, contributing to child protection and looked-after children processes, and preparing clear, analytical reports for meetings and court proceedings where required.

As an experienced practitioner, you will provide advice, guidance and professional support to colleagues, helping to promote consistent, evidence-informed practice across the team. You will contribute to reflective discussions, case consultations and service improvement activity, while working collaboratively with families, schools, health professionals, carers, legal representatives and other partner agencies.

The successful candidate will hold a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You will have substantial post-qualification experience in children and families social work, with a sound understanding of safeguarding, child protection, the care system, permanence planning and relevant legislation. Experience of supporting colleagues, mentoring less experienced practitioners or taking a lead on complex cases would be highly valued.

You will be an effective communicator who can build trusting relationships, make sound professional decisions and manage competing priorities. A strengths-based, child-centred approach is essential, together with the resilience and professional curiosity needed to work effectively in challenging circumstances. You must be able to maintain accurate records, produce high-quality written work and contribute positively within a busy, supportive team.

This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference while developing your practice within a service committed to collaboration, learning and improved outcomes for children and families.
