Solihull Council have 3 new social work job opportunities to support the Children Assessment Team Service and play a central role in delivering high-quality and responsive social work within Solihull.
Your new role
Children Assessment Team Social workers complete the initial assessment from the front door and make a recommendation about what intervention is required, for some families, there may be a need for ongoing intervention from the Early Help Team, the Child in Need Team, The Child Protection and Court Team, the Looked After Children’s Team or the 16+ and Asylum team. Social workers in CAT work with families until the point of the first court hearing, ICPC or CIN meeting.
This is a fast passed duty team. Social workers joining the Children’s Assessment Team are expected to have excellent time management and organisational skills, a good understanding of risk and skills in consistent application of threshold.
