Consultant Social Worker – Stoke on Trent

Pay rate – £38 per hour
 
Contract – Temporary
 
Stoke on Trent City Council are currently recruiting experienced Consultant Social Workers for their Children’s Integrated Front Door team.
 
Hybrid working – 2-3 office days per week
 
The Integrated Front Door is a conversation-based referral process.  This fully embedded way of receiving contacts and referrals provides opportunities for professionals to have meaningful discussions with our staff that result in interventions at the right time by the right service.
 
 This evidence-based approach has led to fewer referrals and in turn fewer children requiring unnecessary assessments that do not lead to the provision of support services. These ways of working are being embedded through our Restorative Practice Approach that is being rolled out across Children’s Services. The intended outcome is that our locality social work teams will have manageable caseloads enabling more direct work with children.
 
This role will see the Consultant Social Worker as decision makers, leading on strategy discussions and having some direct contact with children when intervening.
 
 
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.

• A Dedicated consultant who has access to all roles across the UK and is available for you to speak to
• An easy registration process (all done online)

• Ongoing compliance managed for you.
