Peterborough Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Peterborough City Council Full time

Are you a passionate, committed and dynamic Senior Practitioner or Senior Social Worker looking for the opportunity to step into a new and challenging role?

Do you have the attributes and skills to support young people who are vulnerable to exploitation, wider contextual harms and at risk of going missing?

We are looking for a diligent, detail orientated individual who has a keen interest in helping develop systems to offer the best support for exploited and missing children and young people. The ideal candidate will have experience working with adolescents and a trauma informed, child centred approach to practice.

Our Exploitation and Missing Team (EmPower) is part of an integrated service which means we are closely aligned with Young Peoples Safeguarding and Youth Justice Teams. As a result of these close links, you will be working alongside social workers, youth justice officers, police, psychologists, education officers, substance misuse workers and health workers.

In Peterborough we strive to ensure that children are at the heart of everything we do and to provide practitioners with the tools and resources they need to do their best practice.

Now is a great time to join us and be part of this service. In return for working with us, you will have access to an amazing range of benefits including:

  • Generous annual leave entitlement starting at 25 days per year + bank holidays (FTE) + option to purchase up to an additional ten days per year (FTE)
  • Comprehensive pension scheme with employer contributions of 17.5% (current)
  • Immediate life cover (x3 times your annual salary) and ill-health protection (applicable to those enrolled in LGPS)
  • Flexible and hybrid working opportunities
  • Discounted private medical insurance
  • Access to a car lease salary sacrifice and cycle to work scheme

Appointment to this post will be subject to the outcome of an Enhanced Disclosure obtained through the Disclosure and Barring Service

The Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment
