Children's AP - CIN/CP Team - Stoke on Trent
An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Children’s Advanced Practitioner to join a dedicated Children in Need and Child Protection team in Stoke-on-Trent. This role is suited to a qualified social worker who is passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people, and who can provide confident, child-centred practice in complex and challenging circumstances.
You will manage a varied caseload involving children subject to child in need and child protection plans, ensuring that assessments, interventions and reviews are completed to a high standard. You will work closely with children, parents and carers to identify risks, strengths and desired outcomes, while ensuring that children’s voices remain central to all decisions. Your responsibilities will include undertaking statutory visits, preparing reports, contributing to conferences and legal proceedings, and maintaining accurate, timely case records.
As an Advanced Practitioner, you will provide guidance and professional support to social workers and other colleagues, helping to promote consistent, evidence-informed practice. You may contribute to reflective supervision, case discussions, quality assurance activity and the development of less experienced practitioners. You will also work collaboratively with schools, health professionals, police, early help services and other partner agencies to coordinate effective safeguarding and support plans.
Applicants must hold a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have substantial post-qualification experience in children’s social care, with sound knowledge of child protection procedures, statutory assessments, relevant legislation and court processes. The ability to manage competing priorities, make well-evidenced decisions and communicate effectively with children, families and professionals is essential.
You will be joining a supportive, practice-focused environment that values professional development, partnership working and continuous improvement. A full driving licence and access to a vehicle may be required, together with the flexibility to undertake visits and attend meetings across the area.
