Children's SW - Reunification & Review Team - North Somerset

Reference: 671184

We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a Reunification and Review Team in North Somerset. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children and families by supporting safe, timely and sustainable reunification, while ensuring that children’s welfare remains at the centre of every decision.

You will manage a varied caseload involving children who are looked after, living away from their birth families or being considered for a return home. You will undertake high-quality assessments, develop and review care plans, complete statutory visits and contribute to permanence planning. You will identify risks and protective factors, provide clear professional recommendations and ensure that children’s voices, wishes and feelings are reflected throughout the process.

The role will involve chairing or contributing to reviews, preparing reports for meetings and court proceedings, and working closely with parents, carers, schools, health professionals, legal representatives and other partner agencies. You will support families to understand plans and expectations, challenge drift, monitor progress against agreed outcomes and take appropriate action where concerns about safeguarding or care arrangements arise.

You will need a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. Experience of working with children and families within statutory social care is essential, together with a sound understanding of safeguarding, children looked after, care planning, permanence and relevant legislation. Experience of reunification work, children’s reviews or court-related practice would be advantageous.

We are looking for a confident and reflective practitioner who can manage competing priorities, make evidence-based decisions and communicate effectively with children, families and professionals. You should be able to work both independently and as part of a supportive multi-disciplinary team, maintain accurate records and demonstrate a commitment to anti-discriminatory and strengths-based practice.

The successful candidate will be subject to appropriate safeguarding and pre-employment checks. If you are passionate about improving outcomes for children and helping families achieve positive, lasting change, we would welcome your application.
