We are seeking an experienced Social Worker or Senior Practitioner to join an Integrated Front Door / Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) team in Staffordshire. This is an opportunity to play a key role in responding to contacts and referrals, assessing risk and need, and ensuring children, adults and families receive the right support at the right time.

You will work collaboratively with colleagues across social care, health, education, police and other partner agencies to gather and analyse information, identify safeguarding concerns and determine appropriate next steps. Responsibilities will include completing proportionate assessments, contributing to strategy discussions, making timely decisions, signposting to early help or community services, and progressing referrals where statutory intervention is required.

As a Senior Practitioner, you may also provide professional advice, support complex decision-making, contribute to reflective supervision and help promote consistent, high-quality practice across the team. You will be expected to maintain accurate case records, prepare clear reports, communicate effectively with families and professionals, and ensure that practice is child-centred, strengths-based and rooted in safeguarding principles.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. Substantial post-qualification experience in children’s social care, safeguarding, assessment or front-door services is required, with knowledge of relevant legislation, statutory guidance and thresholds for intervention. Experience of working within a MASH or multi-agency environment would be advantageous.

You will need excellent assessment, analytical and communication skills, sound professional judgement and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced setting. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, partnership working and achieving positive outcomes is essential. The role may require participation in duty arrangements and the ability to travel between locations where necessary.
