You will manage a varied caseload and undertake timely, evidence-based assessments in line with relevant legislation, statutory guidance and professional standards. Your responsibilities will include gathering and analysing information, assessing risk, preparing clear reports, developing effective plans and making well-informed recommendations. You will work closely with children, families, schools, health professionals, police and other partner agencies to promote positive outcomes and safeguard wellbeing.

The role requires you to build respectful, professional relationships with children and families, ensuring their voices are heard and reflected in assessments and plans.
