Children's SW - Care Planning and Support Team - North Yorkshire
We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a Care Planning and Support Team working with children, young people and their families across North Yorkshire. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by ensuring children receive the right support, protection and opportunities to achieve positive outcomes.
You will manage a varied caseload involving children who may be looked after, on the edge of care, or requiring coordinated support due to complex family circumstances. Your responsibilities will include completing assessments, developing and reviewing care plans, undertaking statutory visits, contributing to permanence planning and ensuring that children’s wishes and feelings remain central to all decisions.
You will work closely with parents, carers, schools, health professionals, youth services and other partner agencies to identify needs and deliver effective support. The role will involve safeguarding children, responding to risk, preparing reports for reviews and meetings, and maintaining accurate, timely case records in line with statutory requirements and professional standards.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. You should have experience of working with children and families in a statutory or relevant social care setting, together with a sound understanding of safeguarding, child development, care planning and relevant legislation. Newly qualified social workers with suitable placements may also be considered where appropriate.
You will need strong assessment, communication and organisation skills, alongside the confidence to make professional decisions in complex and sometimes challenging situations. A commitment to relationship-based practice, anti-discriminatory working and improving outcomes for children is essential. You must be able to work collaboratively, manage competing priorities and produce clear, evidence-based reports.
The role requires travel across the region, so the ability to travel between locations and undertake visits is essential. In return, you can expect a supportive working environment, opportunities for professional development and the chance to contribute to high-quality services for children and families.
