We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a dedicated Children’s Social Work team. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children, young people and families by providing purposeful, child-centred support and ensuring that safeguarding and welfare remain at the heart of all decisions.

You will manage a varied caseload involving children and young people who may be subject to child protection processes, care proceedings, children in care arrangements or other statutory interventions. Your responsibilities will include undertaking assessments, identifying risk and need, developing and reviewing plans, and taking timely action to promote positive outcomes. You will ensure that children’s voices are heard and that their wishes, feelings and lived experiences inform all aspects of your work.

The role will involve working closely with families, carers, schools, health professionals, the police and other partner agencies. You will contribute to strategy discussions, child protection conferences, reviews and court proceedings, preparing clear reports and maintaining accurate, up-to-date case records.

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 setting is essential, together with a sound understanding of safeguarding procedures, relevant legislation and the principles of trauma-informed and strengths-based practice. You should be confident working independently while also contributing positively to a supportive team environment.

You will need excellent communication, assessment and report-writing skills, along with resilience, professional curiosity and a commitment to continuous development. The ability to travel to meetings, visits and placements as required is essential. In return, you will have the opportunity to develop your practice while helping children and families achieve safer, more stable and positive futures.
