Reference: 671190

An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified Children’s Social Worker to join a Through Care Team in Stockton-on-Tees. The role involves supporting young people who are preparing to leave care, care leavers, and those requiring ongoing support as they move towards independence and adulthood.

You will manage a varied caseload, completing high-quality assessments, pathway plans and reviews in partnership with young people, carers and other professionals. You will help young people identify their goals and aspirations, while providing practical and emotional support in areas such as accommodation, education, employment, finances, health, relationships and independent living skills.

The successful candidate will build positive, trusting relationships and ensure that the voice, wishes and feelings of each young person remain central to planning and decision-making. You will work closely with foster carers, residential providers, education services, health professionals, housing teams and other partner agencies to coordinate effective support and promote positive outcomes.

Key responsibilities will include maintaining accurate and timely records, preparing reports, contributing to reviews and meetings, responding to safeguarding concerns, and ensuring that practice complies with relevant legislation, guidance and local procedures. You will also support young people to understand their rights and entitlements and advocate for their needs where appropriate.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. Previous experience of working with children, young people, care leavers or vulnerable adults is desirable, along with a sound understanding of safeguarding, corporate parenting responsibilities and transition planning. You should be confident working independently, managing competing priorities and making informed professional decisions.

Excellent communication, organisation and partnership-working skills are essential. A commitment to strengths-based, relationship-focused practice is required, together with the ability to engage young people from diverse backgrounds. The role may involve travel across the local area, so access to suitable transport and a willingness to undertake relevant checks are expected.
