Senior Social Worker - Support and Safeguarding

About the role

We are currently recruiting Senior Social Workers to work in our Support and Safeguarding Teams across Northamptonshire.

We have a cohesive team and a very supportive working environment, where everyone pitches in.  We also offer superb mentoring and development opportunities. The Team uses the Signs of Safety embedded model and has Practice Champions within it. Our Daventry and Northampton sites benefit from large meeting and interview rooms that are suitable for families to meet and also offers free or very heavily subsidised parking.

What will you be doing?

The role is responsible for providing practical and social work support for children, young people and families.

This involves holding a more complex caseload. This will include undertaking assessments, visiting children and their families, carrying out interventions, reviewing the work undertaken, direct work with children, young people and families and any other work identified as necessary.

All this must be based on best evidence and good practice, privileging the best interests of children and young people. The post holder could be expected to offer mentoring, work-shadowing/work experience opportunities and study towards the Practice Educator qualification and post qualifying modules.

As a Senior Social Worker you will have knowledge of the main issues in relation to your own client group. You will have awareness of the main legislative framework within which the role operates and knowledge of the range of services which are available to children and families and of the organisational framework within which they are provided.

About us

Northamptonshire Childrenâs Trust was established in November 2020 to deliver Childrenâs Services to the newly established North and West Northants County Councils. The Trust is wholly owned and funded but operationally independent from the Councils; this provides the organisation with unique opportunities to explore new ways of working and to be more agile and adaptable in its approach to service delivery. We are developing a culture that allows the very highest quality of professional practice to flourish and evolve, delivering at the cutting edge of new innovation.
