Children's SP - Family Team - London Borough of Havering
We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a busy Family Team supporting children, young people and their families. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by working with families to improve outcomes, promote safety and help children achieve their full potential.
You will manage a varied caseload involving children and young people who may be subject to child in need, child protection or care proceedings. Your responsibilities will include completing high-quality assessments, identifying risks and strengths, developing effective plans and reviewing progress regularly. You will work closely with children, parents, carers and wider family networks, ensuring their voices are central to all decisions.
The role involves undertaking statutory visits, preparing reports for meetings and court, maintaining accurate case records and contributing to multi-agency planning. You will work collaboratively with education, health, police, housing and other partner services to safeguard children and provide coordinated support. Where required, you will contribute to safeguarding investigations, permanency planning and work relating to children looked after.
You will need to build positive, professional relationships while managing complex and sensitive situations. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound professional judgement, a strong understanding of relevant legislation and guidance, and the ability to assess risk effectively. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, participation and improving outcomes for children and families is essential.
You must hold a recognised social work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. Experience of statutory children’s social care, including child protection, children in need and court work, is highly desirable. Newly qualified social workers with relevant placement experience may also be considered, subject to the requirements of the role.
You will be supported through regular supervision, professional development and access to a collaborative team environment. If you are resilient, organised and passionate about delivering child-centred social work, we would welcome your application.
