Children's SW - CSW Team - North Yorkshire
We are seeking a committed and experienced Children’s Social Worker to join a busy children’s social care team. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children, young people and families by promoting their safety, wellbeing and long-term outcomes.
You will manage a varied caseload involving children in need, child protection, children looked after and care proceedings. Your responsibilities will include completing high-quality assessments, developing clear plans, undertaking statutory visits and reviews, and maintaining accurate, timely case records. You will work collaboratively with children, parents, carers and professionals to understand individual circumstances and identify the most effective support.
The role requires you to respond confidently to safeguarding concerns, assess risk and make sound, evidence-based decisions. You will contribute to strategy discussions, child protection conferences, looked-after children reviews and court processes where required. Building positive relationships with schools, health services, police, legal representatives and other agencies will be essential to achieving coordinated outcomes.
You will be expected to advocate for children and young people, ensuring their voices are heard and their wishes and feelings inform planning. You will also support permanence planning, family placements and transitions, while recognising and responding appropriately to issues such as neglect, abuse, exploitation, domestic abuse and complex family needs.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have relevant experience in children’s social care, a sound understanding of safeguarding legislation and practice, and the ability to work effectively within statutory timescales. Strong written and verbal communication skills, professional resilience and sound organisational abilities are essential.
A full driving licence and access to a vehicle may be required, as the role involves visiting children and families across the area. You will receive regular supervision and be expected to contribute positively to a supportive, reflective and child-focused team environment.
