Manage high-risk and complex cases including child protection, court proceedings, and looked-after children, ensuring statutory duties under the Children Act 1989 are met.
Offer professional guidance, mentoring, and support to less experienced colleagues, helping to build skills and maintain best practice standards.
Use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to place the voice and experience of the child at the heart of decision-making.

Benefit from Newcastle’s commitment to workforce wellbeing, with access to reflective supervision, CPD, career progression, and flexible working arrangements.
