Children's SP - MASH Team - Luton

Reference: 670438

We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a busy Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) team. This is an important role focused on safeguarding children and young people, responding to concerns, and ensuring that information is assessed promptly and appropriately. You will work collaboratively with professionals across social care, education, health, police and other partner agencies to identify risk and promote positive outcomes for children and families.

Your responsibilities will include screening and assessing referrals, gathering and analysing information, completing proportionate risk assessments, and determining the appropriate response in line with statutory guidance and local safeguarding procedures. You will contribute to strategy discussions, make informed recommendations regarding thresholds for intervention, and ensure that decisions are clearly recorded, evidence-based and completed within required timescales.

You will communicate effectively with children, parents, carers and professionals, ensuring that the child’s voice remains central to all decision-making. The role will involve managing sensitive and complex information, identifying indicators of neglect or abuse, escalating concerns where necessary, and contributing to plans that protect children from harm. You will also maintain accurate case records and provide clear written reports and professional advice to partner agencies.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. You should have relevant experience of working with children and families, ideally within a safeguarding, referral and assessment, or multi-agency setting. A sound understanding of child protection legislation, statutory frameworks, information sharing, risk assessment and professional boundaries is essential.

We are looking for a resilient, organised and analytical practitioner who can manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. You will need excellent communication and decision-making skills, a commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, and the ability to work confidently both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. A valid driving licence and willingness to travel may be required.
