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.

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.

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.
