Children's AP - Family Safeguarding Team - Bury
We are seeking an experienced and committed Advanced Practitioner to join a Family Safeguarding Team in Bury. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified social worker who can provide confident practice leadership while supporting children, young people and families to achieve positive, lasting outcomes.
You will hold and oversee a complex caseload, undertaking high-quality assessments, analysis and care planning in line with statutory requirements. Working within a multi-disciplinary environment, you will collaborate with colleagues across social care, education, health, police and other partner agencies to identify risks, strengthen family networks and promote the safety and wellbeing of children.
As an Advanced Practitioner, you will contribute to the development of practice across the team. Responsibilities will include mentoring and supporting social workers, providing reflective supervision, quality assuring records and assessments, and assisting with case allocation and professional decision-making. You will also contribute to service improvement, learning activities and the consistent application of the Family Safeguarding model.
You must hold a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. Substantial post-qualifying experience in children’s social care is essential, together with a strong understanding of safeguarding, child protection, assessment frameworks and relevant legislation. Experience of working with complex family circumstances, managing risk and supporting colleagues through supervision or practice guidance is highly desirable.
The successful candidate will be an excellent communicator who can build trusting relationships with children, parents and professionals. You will be organised, resilient and able to prioritise effectively in a demanding environment, while maintaining a child-centred approach and accurate case records. A valid driving licence and access to transport may be required for work across the area.
This role offers the opportunity to influence practice, support professional development and help families make sustainable changes. If you are passionate about improving outcomes for children and can provide positive, evidence-informed leadership, we would welcome your application.
