Children's SW - CWD Team - Harrow
We are seeking a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a Children with Disabilities Team. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children and young people with disabilities, helping them achieve positive outcomes and ensuring their voices, wishes and feelings remain at the centre of practice.
You will manage a varied caseload, completing comprehensive assessments and implementing effective plans in line with relevant legislation, statutory guidance and safeguarding procedures. Your responsibilities will include undertaking direct work with children and families, assessing care and support needs, coordinating packages of support, contributing to reviews and managing risk. You will work collaboratively with parents, carers, education, health professionals, commissioned services and other agencies to promote the child’s welfare and independence.
The role may involve supporting children subject to child in need or child protection processes, as well as children who are looked after or require permanence planning. You will maintain accurate, timely records, prepare reports for meetings and panels, and contribute to legal proceedings where required. You will also be expected to participate in duty arrangements and respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have sound knowledge of children’s social care legislation, safeguarding practice, assessment frameworks and the needs of children with disabilities. Experience of statutory children’s social work, effective partnership working and managing complex or challenging situations is highly desirable.
We are looking for a reflective, resilient and organised professional with strong communication and analytical skills. You will be able to build trusting relationships, make balanced decisions and demonstrate a commitment to strengths-based, relationship-focused practice. In return, you can expect regular supervision, continuing professional development and the opportunity to contribute to a supportive and child-centred service.
