Senior Social Worker - CP/CIN - Ealing

Reference: 670342

We are seeking an experienced Senior Social Worker to join a busy Children’s Services team working across Child Protection and Child in Need (CP/CIN) cases. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children and families while contributing to high-quality, relationship-based practice within a supportive and professionally focused environment.

You will manage a complex caseload, completing high-quality assessments and developing clear, child-centred plans that promote safety, stability and positive outcomes. You will undertake statutory visits, identify and respond to safeguarding concerns, prepare reports for child protection conferences and reviews, and work collaboratively with families, schools, health professionals, police and other partner agencies.

The role will involve applying relevant legislation, guidance and local procedures, maintaining accurate case records and ensuring that children’s voices, wishes and feelings remain central to decision-making. You will contribute to permanence planning, initiate and progress care proceedings where required, and support effective risk management in complex and challenging circumstances.

As a senior practitioner, you will provide guidance and professional support to less experienced colleagues, contribute to reflective practice and help promote consistently high standards across the service. You may also support the development of team procedures, participate in meetings and undertake duty or other service responsibilities as required.

Applicants must hold a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have substantial post-qualification experience in children’s social care, with strong knowledge of child protection, child in need practice, safeguarding processes and relevant legislation. Experience of court work, permanence planning and working with families experiencing complex needs is highly desirable.

You will need excellent assessment, analytical, communication and report-writing skills, alongside the confidence to make sound professional decisions. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, continuous improvement and achieving the best outcomes for children is essential. The ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively as part of a multi-agency team is also required.
