About the Role

Our newly formed Family Help Service has a stable, knowledgeable and creative team. Social workers benefit from small teams, regular supervision and a caseload that allows them to spend time with children and young people building relationships and building on their strengths and those of their wider family network. You will be a valued member of our team and encouraged to be a leader and champion of exemplary practice.

Our Family Help model aims to support children and their families through consistent relationships and skilled interventions, rooted in systemic practice. You will work with families to co-produce child and family assessments, and build family led plans under Child in Need and Child Protection frameworks, as well as in care proceedings. 

Our social workers practice alongside co-located Children’s Practitioners, Adult Mental Health Practitioners, Substance Misuse and Domestic Abuse Practitioners. We have in-house family therapy and Social Care CAMHS teams, as well as a range of opportunities for progression into management or practice specialist social work roles.

Essential Qualifications, Skills and Experience:

  • You will hold social work qualification with Social Work England membership and have completed your ASYE Year.
  • Experience of working across voluntary and statutory agencies with applied knowledge of relevant legislation and guidance.
  • An excellent communicator and collaborator who is compassionate and understands the needs of children and young people.
  • A 'can do' attitude coupled with creativity, you will be a champion for children and families and support them with hope, self-esteem and potential.

How We Support You:

  • You will be part of a small team of five social workers with manageable caseloads.
  • Have business support for your team who work in collaboration with you.
  • You will be part of various working groups within the service and across the partnerships to champion areas of best practice and influence positive outcomes for children and families.
  • You will have access to an excellent training offer for Social Workers ranging from Systemic Training, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Informed Practice and various other reflective spaces to promote best practice.
  • Access to great transport links.
