- Work with children, young people, and families to build trusting relationships that support change and resilience.
- Ensure that all practice is child-centred and that the child’s voice informs every aspect of planning and decision-making.
- Collaborate effectively with colleagues, partner agencies, and community services to deliver coordinated and meaningful support.
- Prepare and present clear, evidence-based reports for case conferences, reviews, and court proceedings.
- Manage a varied caseload, balancing risk and need to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment.
- Contribute to reflective supervision and support the continuous improvement of service delivery.
Requirements
- Essential qualification: Degree in Social Work (DipSW, CQSW, CSS, or equivalent).
- Registration: Registered with Social Work England.
- Post-qualifying experience in children’s social care, particularly in assessment, safeguarding, and care planning.
- Strong understanding of child protection legislation, frameworks, and best practice guidance.
- Excellent communication, assessment, and analytical skills.
- Ability to build positive working relationships with children, families, and multi-agency partners.
- Commitment to restorative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed practice.
