Children's SW - CWD Team - Nottingham
We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a Children with Disabilities (CWD) team in Nottingham. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children and young people with disabilities, supporting them to achieve positive outcomes and ensuring their voices, needs and experiences remain at the centre of all professional decisions.
You will manage a varied caseload involving children and young people with complex disabilities and additional needs. Your responsibilities will include completing high-quality assessments, developing and reviewing child-focused plans, undertaking statutory visits and responding appropriately to safeguarding concerns. You will work closely with children, parents and carers to understand their circumstances, identify strengths and risks, and ensure that support is proportionate, timely and effective.
The role involves contributing to multi-agency meetings, preparing clear reports and maintaining accurate case records in line with relevant legislation, policy and professional standards. You may also be involved in pathway planning, short breaks, direct payments, transition to adulthood and applications for appropriate services or resources. Strong partnership working will be essential, including collaboration with education, health, specialist services and independent providers.
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, ideally within a statutory children’s social care or disability setting, together with a sound understanding of safeguarding procedures, relevant legislation and strengths-based practice. Newly qualified social workers with suitable placement experience may also be considered.
You will need excellent communication, assessment and report-writing skills, alongside the ability to manage competing priorities and make sound professional judgements. A child-centred, respectful and solution-focused approach is essential. You must be committed to promoting equality, inclusion and participation, and able to work flexibly as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team.
This role offers the chance to develop your expertise within a specialist service while contributing to improved outcomes for children and young people with disabilities and their families.
