- Registration: Registered with Social Work England.
- Significant post-qualifying experience in children’s social care, including safeguarding, assessment, and care planning.
- Excellent knowledge of child protection legislation, statutory frameworks, and social work best practice.
- Strong communication, assessment, and decision-making skills.
- Ability to manage a varied caseload effectively and work collaboratively within a multi-agency environment.
- Commitment to trauma-informed, relationship-based, and strengths-focused practice.
Why Apply?
This 3-month contract offers a great opportunity to contribute your skills and experience to a well-supported local authority team while maintaining flexibility and variety in your work. You’ll be part of a professional environment where your expertise is valued, your development is supported, and your work makes a tangible difference to children and families.
