An experienced and committed Children’s Social Worker is required to join a Safeguarding Team in Nottinghamshire. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children, young people and families by promoting safety, stability and positive outcomes. You will manage a varied caseload involving children in need, child protection and care proceedings, working within statutory frameworks and local safeguarding procedures.

Your responsibilities will include undertaking timely assessments, identifying risk and protective factors, and developing clear, outcome-focused plans with children and their families. You will complete statutory visits, prepare detailed reports, contribute to child protection conferences and review meetings, and ensure that the child’s voice remains central to all decision-making. You will work collaboratively with colleagues across education, health, police and other partner agencies to coordinate effective support and safeguard children from harm.

You will be expected to maintain accurate case records, meet statutory timescales and respond appropriately to changing circumstances. The role also involves presenting information at professional meetings and court, contributing to permanence planning, and supporting families through challenging situations with empathy, professionalism and respect.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have substantial post-qualifying experience in children’s social care, ideally within a safeguarding, child protection or statutory assessment setting. A sound understanding of relevant legislation, statutory guidance and evidence-based social work practice is essential, together with the ability to assess risk and make well-informed decisions.

We are seeking someone who is organised, resilient and confident communicating with children, families and professionals. You must be able to manage competing priorities, work independently and contribute positively within a busy multidisciplinary team. Knowledge of Nottinghamshire’s safeguarding processes and experience of local authority children’s services would be advantageous. A valid driving licence and access to a vehicle may be required for business travel.
