ABOUT THE FIRST RESPONSE SERVICE

We will deliver on our promise to our children - will you?**If you want to talk children, come and work with us We talk about children, not cases, and keeping children at the forefront of our decision making ensures them better outcomes. As a service, First Response is one big team comprising of the Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH); 4 duty teams; and the Out of Hours service. To guarantee children the best from us, whilst supporting individual staff to develop, we ensure our resilience by rotating social workers between both roles, moving between MASH and duty on a rota basis. This ensures all social workers are meeting their full potential, utilising all their skills, and developing analytical skills alongside skills needed for managing an allocation of children.

We are proud of our relationships with our partners who are co-located with us and part of the team.

We make the most of their input, holding daily multi agency meetings in response to domestic abuse, ensuring quick safety planning for children, as well as having easy access to partners for strategy meetings, and information sharing when needed.

The duty teams undertake assessments on new children into the service and work across the Borough.

We operate a 4 week duty rota, with each team spending one week on duty, allowing the 3 following weeks to complete assessments and other associated tasks.

As the team manages all incoming assessments, no two days are ever the same.

This work will include S47 investigations; initiating care proceedings; accommodating children; assessments; pre-birth assessments; Legal gateway meetings following PLO processes.

Work is varied, complex, and high paced but very rewarding. Don't take our word for it. This is what one of our newly qualified social workers had to say;

'My experience in Rotherham as a newly qualified social worker could not have been better, the support and guidance provided by the social workers and managers has helped to build my confidence and skills in order to ensure the best outcomes for the children I work with'.

ABOUT YOU
You will care.

You will make sure children are at the heart of all you do.

You will ask the right questions to make the best plans for children.

You will have experience of working with children in a social work setting.

You will have excellent assessments skills where analysis is key.
