Are you an experienced and qualified Social Worker passionate about making a difference to children's lives and want to join an organisation committed to outstanding, relationship-based social work practice?

Our values inspire our Outstanding Practice Framework , which creates the context for you as a Social Worker in Wandsworth to build relationships with families that bring about change to support children to live at home wherever possible. Coupled with the implementation of Family Safeguarding you will join the best practice conditions we've ever had to achieve the best possible outcomes for children and families.

Can you join us and help children and their families by delivering ethical based interventions which respect and promote their rights?

About the Role

Brief Intervention Service

The Brief Intervention Service works with children, young people and their families for up to six months. Our brief interventions will support children, young people and their families to create change - through co-produced child and family assessments, family led plans, Family Space Clinics and a range of community based services.

There is strong leadership in the Service and 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 the wider family network.

To support you in creating change for families you will be connected with a range of specialist workers including: a Domestic Abuse Specialist Social Worker, a Housing Specialist, a SEN Social Worker, a Substance Misuse Worker and a NRPF Social Worker, a Practice Specialist Social Worker and a Family Therapist.

For more information, please refer to the Brief Intervention Flyer attachment at the end of this page.

When joining the service, you will be part of a dedicated team of Children's Social Workers, Children's Practitioners, Adult Mental Health Practitioners, Substance Misuse and Domestic Abuse Practitioners all working together. The service consists of nine Family Safeguarding teams covering three geographical clusters of Roehampton, Battersea and Tooting. Find out more about our Family Safeguarding service here .

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.
