Children's TM - Family Help Team - Cheshire West and Chester
An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a Family Help Team on a temporary basis. You will work alongside children, young people and their families to provide effective, strengths-based support, helping them achieve positive and lasting outcomes.
You will manage a varied caseload, completing assessments, preparing plans and reviewing progress in line with statutory requirements and professional standards. The role will involve working with families experiencing a range of challenges, including safeguarding concerns, complex needs, parenting difficulties and issues affecting children’s wellbeing and development.
Key responsibilities will include undertaking child and family assessments, identifying risks and protective factors, and developing plans with families and partner agencies. You will contribute to child protection enquiries and meetings where required, maintain accurate and timely records, prepare reports for reviews and panels, and ensure that children’s voices, wishes and feelings remain central to all decision-making.
You will work collaboratively with education, health, early help, youth services and other professionals to coordinate effective support. The successful candidate will be confident in building positive relationships, managing risk, making sound professional decisions and responding appropriately to changing circumstances. You must be able to work independently while contributing positively to a supportive, multi-disciplinary team.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. Previous experience of working with children and families in a statutory or family support setting is essential, along with a sound understanding of safeguarding legislation, child development and relevant social work practice. Experience of completing assessments, care planning and direct work with children will be highly valued.
You will need excellent communication, organisation and report-writing skills, together with the ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, reflective working and improving outcomes for children and families is essential. A current driving licence and access to transport may be required for this role.
