Children's SW - Locality Team - Devon

We are seeking a committed and experienced Children’s Social Worker to join a supportive Locality Team. You will work with children, young people and families to promote safety, wellbeing and positive outcomes. The role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference through relationship-based practice, effective partnership working and a child-centred approach.

Your responsibilities will include undertaking high-quality assessments, identifying risk and need, and developing plans that reflect the voice and lived experience of each child. You will manage a varied caseload, complete statutory visits and reviews, prepare reports for meetings and hearings, and ensure that records are accurate, timely and compliant with relevant legislation and procedures.

You will work closely with families, schools, health professionals, police, education services and other agencies to coordinate support and safeguard children. The role may involve working with children subject to child protection plans, children in care and those requiring longer-term intervention. You will be expected to respond appropriately to risk, contribute to decision-making and promote permanence, stability and improved outcomes.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. Experience of working with children and families in a statutory or comparable setting is essential, alongside a sound understanding of safeguarding, child protection legislation, assessment frameworks and care planning. You should be confident managing competing priorities, producing high-quality written work and communicating effectively with children, families and professionals.

We are looking for someone who is resilient, reflective and committed to continuous professional development. You should be able to work independently while contributing positively to a wider team, use supervision constructively and demonstrate sound professional judgement. A full driving licence and access to suitable transport may be required, as the post involves visiting children and families across the locality.
