- Manage a caseload of varying complexity, ensuring timely responses and proportionate interventions based on assessed risk and need.
- Work collaboratively with parents, carers, and multi-agency partners to provide coordinated, family-led support.
- Prepare clear, evidence-based reports for case conferences, court proceedings, and reviews.
- Ensure that the voice of the child informs all assessments, planning, and interventions.
- Promote a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and relationship-focused approach to practice.
- Maintain accurate, timely case records in line with statutory and local authority standards.
Requirements
- Essential qualification: Degree in Social Work (DipSW, CQSW, CSS, or equivalent).
- Registration: Registered with Social Work England.
- Substantial post-qualifying experience in children’s social care, including safeguarding, assessment, and care planning.
- Excellent understanding of child protection legislation, statutory frameworks, and best practice in social work.
- Strong communication, assessment, and analytical skills.
- Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment while maintaining high-quality practice.
- Commitment to partnership working and continuous professional development.
Why Join?
Havering Council offers a supportive and collaborative working environment that values professional integrity, reflective practice, and innovation. You’ll be part of a dedicated Children’s Services team that focuses on early intervention, strong multi-agency collaboration, and positive, long-term outcomes for children and families.
This short-term opportunity provides the chance to use your experience and expertise to make a tangible difference to children’s lives while gaining valuable experience within a highly regarded London borough.
