Enhanced DBS disclosure required

In this role of Senior social worker, you will work as a key member of a Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub with the primary function of undertaking screening and responding to all new referrals into children's social care.

You will be a member of a team delivering high quality and effective services to children, young people, and their families/carers. Additionally, you will promote and safeguard the welfare of children who live in the city complying with relevant legislation and regulation, maintaining the highest professional standards and ensure the consistent application of the threshold to step up from early help to children's social care.

Key Responsibilities

  • Under supervision, work independently to hold and effectively manage a caseload of complex cases. Respond to complex referrals, provide casework advice, support, and guidance to other team members. Use the signs of safety framework for all social work practice. Carry out investigations, assessment, and management of risk, write reports, give evidence in court, and provide professional opinion and work with children and young people in care, at all times following statutory and service standards and guidance.
  • Build relationships with children, young people, and all key family members as the basis for all support and child protection responses. Provide support based on best evidence, which is tailored to meet individual child and family needs and which addresses relevant and significant risks. Overcome hostility and resistance to social care involvement. Work in partnership and undertake negotiation with families and professionals for full participation in assessment, planning, review, and decision making, at all times prioritising safety of children/young people.
  • Observe and talk to children in their environment, including at home, school with parents, carers, friends and peers to help understand their development and the impact on their development by the quality of their physical and social environment, different parenting styles and any communication difficulties, ill-health or disabilities.
  • Identify the impact of adult mental ill health, substance misuse, domestic abuse, and disability on how families work and the effect on children, including those who are young carers. Access professional help to prevent adult social need and risk. Identify and manage any concerning adult behaviour and the risk to children.
  • Work with partner agencies where there is concern about the safety and welfare of children, triangulate evidence to ensure robust conclusions are drawn. Recognise harm and risk indicators of different forms of harm to children and young people relating to various forms of abuse and neglect. Consider contextual safeguarding issues, which pose a risk to children and young people.
  • Carry out in-depth and on-going family assessment of social need and risk to children, with particular emphasis on risk, parental capacity, and capability to change. Take into account individual child and family history and how this might affect the ability of adults and children to engage with services.
  • Understand and analyse the seriousness that different risks present, and any harm already suffered by a child, balanced with family strengths and potential solutions. Determine whether there is sufficient safety of a child to remain with the family and the support needed for that to happen. If the child is looked after, whether there is enough safety for the child to return home.
  • Make realistic, evidence-based, child centred plans within a review timeline, which will manage and reduce identified risks and meet the needs of the child. Chair multi-disciplinary meetings to involve relevant professionals and minimise chances of drift or delay. Ensure actions on the plan are progressed within statutory timescales.
  • In cases of significant harm and child protection, carry out investigations, compiling reports to case conferences, courts/statutory panels in accordance with statutory procedures and best practice, seeking additional support and guidance, as required, and agreed as beneficial by the Senior Fieldwork Manager. Where appropriate arrange accommodation for children and young people who are identified as being at risk.
  • Use legal powers and duties to support families, protect children and to look after children in the public care system, including the regulatory frameworks that support the full range of permanence options. Use professional judgement on decisions about whether to make an application to the family court and in the preparation and presentation of evidence.
