Children's SW - Assessment Team - Nottinghamshire
An experienced Children’s Social Worker is required to join an Assessment Team in Nottinghamshire. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children and families by completing timely, child-centred assessments and helping to ensure that children are safe, supported and able to thrive.
You will manage a varied caseload involving children and young people who may be subject to safeguarding concerns, care proceedings or other statutory interventions. Your responsibilities will include undertaking assessments, analysing risk and need, developing effective plans and making clear, evidence-based recommendations. You will work directly with children, parents, carers and wider family networks, ensuring that their views are heard and reflected in all aspects of decision-making.
The role involves working closely with colleagues and partner agencies, including education, health, police and other professionals. You will contribute to strategy discussions, child protection enquiries, reviews and meetings, while maintaining accurate, timely records in line with statutory and organisational requirements. You will also be expected to present information confidently, prepare reports for legal and formal proceedings where required, and promote positive outcomes through purposeful direct work.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. You should have recent experience of statutory children’s social work, including assessment, safeguarding and risk management, together with a sound understanding of relevant legislation, guidance and best practice. Strong communication, organisation and report-writing skills are essential, as is the ability to prioritise competing demands and work effectively under pressure.
You will be committed to anti-discriminatory practice, participation and improving outcomes for children and families. A full driving licence and the ability to travel between locations may be required. The successful candidate will be subject to appropriate employment checks, including an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. In return, you can expect professional support, opportunities for development and the chance to contribute to a dedicated and collaborative service.
