An opportunity is available for a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join an Assessment Team supporting children, young people and their families. You will undertake high-quality, timely assessments of need and risk, ensuring that children’s welfare remains central to all decisions. The role will involve responding to referrals, carrying out visits, gathering information from families and partner agencies, and developing clear plans that promote safety, stability and positive outcomes.

You will manage a varied caseload involving safeguarding concerns, children in need and child protection matters. Responsibilities will include analysing information, identifying risk, completing assessments, preparing reports and making evidence-based recommendations. Where necessary, you will contribute to legal proceedings, attend meetings and provide accurate, well-organised records in line with statutory requirements, professional standards and local procedures.

Working collaboratively will be an important part of the role. You will build effective relationships with children, parents, carers and professionals across education, health, housing, police and other support services. You will be expected to communicate sensitively and confidently, ensuring that children and families are involved in decisions and that their views, wishes and experiences inform assessments and plans.

The ability to work independently, prioritise competing demands and produce clear written work is essential. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, continuous learning and improving outcomes for children and families is also required. A current driving licence and access to a vehicle may be necessary, as the role can involve travel to meet children and families in a range of settings.
