- Registration: Registered with Social Work England.
- Significant post-qualifying experience in children’s social care, including safeguarding, assessment, and case management.
- Strong knowledge of child protection legislation, statutory frameworks, and best practice in children’s social work.
- Excellent communication, analysis, and report-writing skills.
