We are seeking a qualified Social Worker to join a Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) team in Peterborough. This is an important role focused on safeguarding children and young people, ensuring that referrals are responded to promptly and that risks are identified and managed effectively.

You will be responsible for screening and assessing referrals from partner agencies, gathering and analysing information, and making informed decisions about the most appropriate next steps. Working within relevant legislation, statutory guidance and local safeguarding procedures, you will determine whether concerns require further assessment, immediate intervention or signposting to suitable services.

The role involves close partnership working with colleagues across children’s services, education, health, police and other agencies. You will contribute to strategy discussions, share professional advice, promote effective information sharing and ensure that safeguarding decisions are clearly recorded and communicated. You may also undertake assessments, contribute to child protection planning and support the progression of cases where ongoing social work intervention is required.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have substantial post-qualification experience in children’s social care, safeguarding or a related statutory setting, together with a sound understanding of child protection practice, thresholds of need and risk assessment. Experience of working in a MASH or other multi-disciplinary environment would be advantageous.

You will need strong analytical, communication and report-writing skills, alongside the confidence to make timely decisions in complex and sometimes high-pressure circumstances. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, relationship-based social work and achieving positive outcomes for children and families is essential. The ability to work collaboratively, manage competing priorities and maintain accurate case records is also required.

This opportunity offers the chance to play a key role in protecting children and strengthening partnership responses to safeguarding concerns. If you are an experienced, resilient and thoughtful Social Worker looking to make a meaningful contribution, we would welcome your application.
