Advanced Practitioner - Family Safeguarding - Bury
An exciting opportunity is available for an Advanced Practitioner specialising in Family Safeguarding. This is a rewarding role for a qualified social worker who can provide confident, child-centred practice and support families to achieve positive, sustainable change. You will work with children and parents where there are complex safeguarding concerns, ensuring that their voices, experiences and best interests remain central to decision-making.
You will hold and manage a complex caseload, completing high-quality assessments, care plans and reviews in line with statutory requirements and professional standards. Your responsibilities will include identifying and analysing risk, developing effective safety plans, contributing to child protection processes and care proceedings, and ensuring that children are protected from harm. You will work collaboratively with families and partner agencies, including education, health, police and specialist support services.
As an Advanced Practitioner, you will provide practice guidance, case consultation and professional support to social workers and other colleagues. You will contribute to reflective supervision, quality assurance activity, learning and development, and the continuous improvement of safeguarding practice. The role will also involve supporting the implementation of evidence-informed approaches, promoting strengths-based work and helping to embed a family-focused model across services.
Applicants must hold a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. Significant post-qualifying experience in children's social care, child protection and family safeguarding is essential, together with a strong understanding of relevant legislation, statutory guidance and court procedures. You will need excellent assessment, report-writing and communication skills, sound professional judgement and the ability to work effectively under pressure.
You should be committed to equality, participation and inclusive practice, with the resilience and confidence to manage challenging situations. A valid driving licence and the ability to travel to meet children and families may be required. This post is subject to appropriate pre-employment checks, including an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.
