Children's LP - CP Team - London Borough of Hounslow
We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a dedicated Child Protection Team. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children and families by providing high-quality social work intervention, promoting safety, stability and positive outcomes.
You will manage a varied caseload involving children subject to child protection plans, children in need and care proceedings. You will undertake assessments, identify risk and protective factors, and develop clear, outcome-focused plans in partnership with children, parents, carers and relevant professionals. The role will involve responding to safeguarding concerns, undertaking statutory visits, contributing to strategy discussions and child protection conferences, and preparing accurate reports for meetings and court proceedings.
You will work closely with colleagues across education, health, police and other partner agencies to ensure effective information sharing and coordinated support. You will be expected to listen to children and young people, understand their wishes and feelings, and ensure their voices are central to planning and decision-making. Maintaining comprehensive case records and meeting statutory timescales will be an essential part of the role.
The successful candidate will hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current Social Work England registration, with relevant post-qualifying experience in children’s services and child protection. You should have a sound understanding of safeguarding legislation, statutory guidance and assessment frameworks, alongside the confidence to manage complex and potentially high-risk situations.
You will be a reflective, resilient and organised practitioner with strong communication, analytical and report-writing skills. The ability to build respectful relationships, challenge appropriately and work effectively within a multidisciplinary environment is essential. A commitment to continuous professional development and strengths-based, anti-discriminatory practice is also required. A full driving licence and access to a vehicle may be necessary, depending on service requirements.
