About the role:

• You would be joining an established team of experienced social workers in the Locality Team who undertake statutory social work in the areas of Child protection, Children in Need and the initial stages of Looked after Children, as well as working within the Public Law outline and Care proceedings. You will ensure vulnerable children and young people are identified, protected and supported to achieve positive outcomes through the provision of well planned, integrated and coordinated services
• There is a strong culture of giving staff the time, freedom and support to explore new and better ways of doing things, so we’re looking for individuals keen to use their creativity to deliver high quality, child-centred practices, which ensure the best outcomes for children and families.

You should be:

• A qualified social worker with relevant registration to practice and a good understanding of asset and strengths based approaches to social work – or award pending if requiring an ASYE.
• A problem solver, confident about making important decisions, underpinned by a genuine passion to work collaboratively with children, young people and families to meet their goals and aspirations
• Innovation, positivity and dedication. You’ll welcome challenge and embrace change.

Please note that due to the nature of this role it is a requirement of employment that an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is obtained for this post.
You will be required to travel widely to a range of locations within the Authority so you must have a current driving licence and access to a car.
