Your New Company:
Achieving for Children is a not-for-profit organisation that provides children's services for Kingston, Richmond, and Windsor & Maidenhead Councils. Their mission is to support children and young people in living safe, happy, healthy, and successful lives.

Your New Role:

If you're passionate about improving outcomes for children and have creative skills for engaging kids of various ages, consider applying for a role where your efforts can make a difference in a young person's life. Social workers within the Permanency service have the opportunity to do meaningful direct work, such as life story work, which can have lifelong impacts. We're seeking enthusiastic, committed social workers who can motivate networks around young people to achieve excellent standards of care and support.The main office is based in Kingston, and you'll be supporting children and young people aged 0 to 18.

Responsibilities:

This includes championing the views and wishes of children and young people.
Collaboration: Social workers work alongside other professionals (such as educators, healthcare providers, and counsellors) to meet the diverse needs of children and young people. This collaborative approach ensures appropriate care, education, and health services are provided.
Safety and Independence: Social workers support children living with relatives, foster families, or prospective adopters, as well as those in children's homes or semi-independent units.

Their goal is to ensure safety and guide young people toward independence.Key tasks include regular visits, assessments, care planning, and active participation in professional networks.
Overall, social workers empower individuals to improve their lives while safeguarding their well-being.
