Children's SW - We Care For Team - Milton Keynes
We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a dedicated team in Milton Keynes. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children, young people and their families by providing high-quality, child-centred social work within a supportive professional environment.
You will manage a varied caseload involving children and families who may require support through assessment, early intervention, child protection and care proceedings. Your responsibilities will include completing thorough assessments, developing and reviewing care plans, undertaking statutory visits and maintaining accurate, timely records in line with legislation and departmental procedures.
You will work collaboratively with children, parents, carers and a wide range of partner agencies, including schools, health professionals, the police and other community services. You will be expected to identify risk, promote safeguarding and wellbeing, advocate for children’s wishes and feelings, and ensure that their needs remain at the centre of all decisions. Where appropriate, you may contribute to court proceedings and prepare clear, evidence-based reports.
The successful candidate will hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have relevant experience of working with children and families, together with a sound understanding of safeguarding practice, relevant legislation and statutory guidance. Experience in child protection, children in care, court work or care planning would be advantageous.
You will need excellent communication, assessment and organisational skills, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and work confidently both independently and as part of a multi-agency team. A reflective, resilient and solution-focused approach is essential, as is a commitment to equality, diversity and improving outcomes for children and young people. A full driving licence and access to a vehicle may be required for undertaking visits across the area.
