Children's SSW - CIN/CP/LAC Team - London Borough of Ealing
We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a busy Children in Need, Child Protection and Looked After Children team in London. 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, undertaking assessments, developing purposeful plans and reviewing progress in line with statutory requirements. Your responsibilities will include completing child and family assessments, contributing to strategy discussions, undertaking child protection enquiries, preparing reports for conferences and court, and implementing effective safeguarding plans.
Working with children in care, you will ensure that their voices, wishes and feelings remain central to decision-making. You will coordinate statutory visits and reviews, work closely with foster carers and connected carers, contribute to care planning, and support permanence planning and transition arrangements. You will also build constructive relationships with parents, schools, health professionals, police and partner agencies to provide coordinated support.
The successful candidate will hold a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You will have sound knowledge of child protection procedures, care planning, relevant legislation and statutory guidance, together with experience of working with children and families in a statutory setting. Experience across CIN, CP and LAC services is desirable.
You will be confident managing competing priorities, making professional judgements and producing clear, analytical assessments and reports. Strong communication, recording and organisational skills are essential, as is the ability to engage families respectfully while maintaining a clear focus on safeguarding and outcomes.
In return, you can expect regular supervision, access to learning and development opportunities, and a supportive team environment where reflective practice and professional growth are valued. If you are committed to strengths-based, relationship-focused social work and want to help children achieve their potential, we would welcome your application.
