An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a dedicated Children with Disabilities (CWD) team. You will work with children, young people and their families to promote safety, wellbeing, independence and positive outcomes. This role requires a compassionate, resilient and reflective practitioner who is committed to strengths-based, child-centred social work.

You will undertake assessments, develop and review care plans, and provide effective support to children with disabilities and their families. Responsibilities will include managing a varied caseload, completing statutory visits, contributing to safeguarding enquiries, preparing reports for relevant panels and meetings, and ensuring that children’s voices, wishes and feelings inform all decisions. You will work closely with parents and carers, education, health professionals, commissioned services and other agencies to coordinate appropriate support.

The successful candidate will maintain accurate and timely case records, assess risk, respond to changing needs and ensure that interventions are proportionate and outcome-focused.

You will need sound knowledge of relevant legislation, guidance and assessment frameworks, alongside strong written and verbal communication skills. The ability to work collaboratively, manage competing priorities and make professional decisions confidently is essential.

In return, you will benefit from professional supervision, opportunities for learning and development, and the chance to make a meaningful difference to children and families. A commitment to equality, anti-discriminatory practice and continuous improvement is expected, together with a willingness to work flexibly in response to the needs of the service.
