A unique opportunity to work within dedicated children in care teams.
We are looking for aspirational and dynamic qualified Children and Families Social Workers, who are interested in engaging the children in our care in varied and diverse direct work to support them to achieve their permanency plan.
You will be responsible for completing your statutory duties in co ordinating children’s plans, whilst ensuring they are individual to the child’s needs and aspirational in respect of focus, supporting children to engage with their plans and achieve the very best outcomes.
You will be well supported, not only by team coordinators who support you with various administrative tasks, but also by an established and experienced management team. This will afford you opportunities to engage in direct work with your allocated children, to develop restorative relationships and to support children to understand their journey.
You will work alongside our Contact Service, to promote family time, with parents, siblings and significant people for the children in our care, ensuring that children develop strong networks of support as they transition towards independent living.
Permanency planning is key for all our children in care, enabling the opportunity to support children through to Adoption and Special Guardianship, creating development and progression opportunities for Socials Workers.
