We are seeking a committed and experienced Children’s Social Worker to join a specialist DAAT team supporting children, young people and their families across Northamptonshire. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by helping children achieve positive outcomes, remain safe and reach their full potential.
You will manage a varied caseload involving children and young people with additional needs and/or complex circumstances. Your responsibilities will include completing high-quality assessments, developing and reviewing plans, undertaking direct work with children, and contributing to safeguarding enquiries and care planning processes. You will work collaboratively with families, schools, health professionals, fostering and residential services, and other partner agencies to ensure that children’s needs are understood and appropriately met.
The role requires confident professional judgement, effective risk assessment and the ability to make sound, evidence-based decisions. You will maintain accurate case records, prepare reports for meetings and reviews, and ensure that statutory duties, policies and relevant legislation are consistently followed. You will also be expected to participate in team discussions, reflective supervision and continuous service improvement.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England, together with relevant post-qualification experience in children’s social care. Experience of safeguarding, child protection, children looked after, children with additional needs or working with families experiencing complex challenges would be advantageous. You should have a sound understanding of statutory frameworks and be confident undertaking direct work with children and young people.
We are looking for a resilient, compassionate and organised professional who can build trusting relationships, communicate effectively and manage competing priorities. A valid driving licence and the ability to travel between locations may be required. In return, you will receive professional supervision, opportunities for learning and development, and the chance to contribute to a supportive, child-centred team dedicated to improving outcomes for vulnerable children.
