About the Role We are seeking experienced Childrens Social Workers to join our Assessment Team. This is a vital role where you will respond to referrals involving concerns about a childs safety or wellbeing. Your primary responsibility will be to investigate concerns, assess risks and protective factors, and determine the most appropriate course of action to safeguard children. You will work directly with children and families, ensuring the childs voice is central to all assessments and decisions. This role involves a wide range of statutory duties and requires strong analytical and communication skills. Key Responsibilities Respond to new referrals and carry out initial investigations into child safety concerns. Complete Section 17 Single Assessments and Section 47 Enquiries. Participate in Initial Child Protection Conferences and Child in Need meetings. Prepare Section 7 reports for private law proceedings when required.

Team Structure & Working Pattern The team operates on a three-week duty rota, meaning each team handles new referrals only once every three weeks. When on duty, social workers are expected to work from the office at Sand Martin House. During off-duty weeks, you will focus on ongoing cases with flexibility for hybrid working. You will be supported by an Advice and Information Officer, a Childrens Social Care Practitioner, and dedicated business support staff, allowing you to concentrate on direct work with families.
