Children’s Social Worker – West Midlands

Pay rate – £33.30 per hour
 
Contract – Temporary
 
A West Midlands local authority is currently recruiting experienced children’s Social Workers for their Children in Care Permanence team.
 
This role will be based within a Children in Care Permanence Team who are predominantly based in Bedworth but offer a Countywide service to all Children in Care who have a plan of permanency and those who may be placed further away from home.
 
They are a busy but highly rewarding team to work for; it is our passion to capture the voice of young people in all that we do and ensure that they are central to all care and pathway planning decisions relating to them and their future.
 
We offer a service to Children in Care of all ages (up to 18yrs) who have a plan of permanence in various settings including foster care, residential provision, supported accommodation, supported lodgings, and those placed with connected family members.
 
We also work very closely with families, and as children get older and family circumstances change, we support children and young people to return to their families where safe to do so.
 
Our focus is on ensuring all children and young people are well supported to maximise their life chances; where they can thrive in our care, are safe from any harm or abuse, have access to the best education and training, and feel prepared for adulthood. We work hard to ensure that our children’s voices are heard and that our team have opportunities to build positive relationships with the young people that we support. 
 
 
 
 
Children’s Social Workers will need at least 3 years’ permanent experience with an English local authority and to be registered with Social Work England, as per DfE rules.
