Advanced Practitioner

Broxtowe & Rushcliffe District Child Protection Teams

Do you have at least three years’ experience as a childcare social worker?

Are you looking for a new challenge, whilst also remaining a practising social worker? 

We are looking for an Advanced Practitioner (Child and Family Social Worker). The post is based in Broxtowe and Rushcliffe District Child Protection Team, focusing on complex work including pre-proceedings and care proceedings. There are 3 district child protection teams in Broxtowe & Rushcliffe, and there are a mix of experienced social workers, newly qualified social workers, social work apprentices and family support workers in the teams.

You will be the allocated social worker for a limited number of children with complex family circumstances and under the direction of the Team Manager will co-work and provide support to Social Workers to increase their knowledge and skills in high quality assessment, analysis, and risk management. 

Advanced practitioners will have line manager responsibilities for a limited number of non-social work qualified staff and social work apprentices in the team and will support with reflective and group supervision for other social workers. You will need to have had experience of mentoring or supervising others.
