- Registration: Registered with Social Work England.
- Substantial post-qualifying experience within children’s social care, ideally in assessment or safeguarding teams.
- Strong knowledge of child protection legislation, statutory guidance, and social work best practice.
- Excellent assessment, analytical, and report-writing skills.
- Ability to work effectively under pressure while maintaining a high standard of professional practice.
- Commitment to partnership working and a child-centred approach.
