Advanced/Senior Practitioner - Family Help Team - Stoke on Trent

Reference: 671207

An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced and qualified Social Worker to join a Family Help Team as an Advanced/Senior Practitioner. This is a rewarding role for a confident practitioner who is committed to improving outcomes for children, young people and their families through strengths-based, relationship-focused practice.

You will manage a varied and complex caseload, working with families who may require support across a range of areas, including parenting, safeguarding, domestic abuse, neglect, emotional wellbeing and wider social needs. You will complete high-quality assessments, develop effective plans with families and undertake purposeful interventions that promote safety, stability and positive change. You will ensure that children’s voices, wishes and feelings remain central to all decision-making.

As a senior member of the team, you will provide professional advice, guidance and support to colleagues, contributing to reflective practice, case consultation and the development of effective services. You may take responsibility for mentoring and supporting less experienced practitioners, sharing your knowledge and helping to promote consistent, evidence-informed practice. The role will also involve working closely with partner agencies, attending meetings and contributing to multi-agency plans where appropriate.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. You will have substantial post-qualifying experience in children’s social care, family support or a related setting, together with a sound understanding of relevant legislation, safeguarding procedures and assessment frameworks. Experience of managing complex cases, undertaking direct work with children and families, and supporting the development of colleagues is highly desirable.

You will be organised, resilient and able to prioritise effectively in a demanding environment. Excellent communication, report-writing and professional judgement are essential, along with a genuine commitment to inclusive practice and improving the lives of children and families. A current driving licence and access to transport may be required for this role.
