Dover, United Kingdom Connect2Kent Full time

A new opportunity has arisen for a Social Worker to support disabled children and their families in the South Kent Coast and Thanet Disabled Children's Team. This post will be based in Dover but there is an expectation to work across the whole area covered by the team.

The Disabled Children's Team supports children and young people who are severely and/or profoundly disabled. On their 16th birthday our young people transition to our partner 16 to 25 Disabled Young People's Team.

The team covers the South Kent Coast and Thanet area. We are seeking a flexible, highly motivated person to carry a caseload comprising of children in need, children in care and, if suitably experienced, child protection cases. The team follows a care pathway approach, and we carry our children through from the first assessment, child in need, child protection, all court work, child in care, adoption and permanency.

A high standard of written English is an important requirement as all team members must be able to produce a good standard of report writing and maintain accurate, comprehensive written records. Excellent organisational skills, communication and IT skills are also essential.

You will need to demonstrate an ability to engage with children, young people, their families and carers coupled with the integrity to work within a confidential, professional environment. We will be looking for someone with an understanding of the rewards and challenges of caring for a disabled child. In return you will be provided with support and opportunities to develop your own knowledge and skills further with regular supervision.

If you would welcome the opportunity to join a friendly team in a worthwhile and challenging role, we would like to hear from you.

The role requires you to be mobile throughout a wide operational area including travelling Kent wide and beyond. You should note that public transport is rarely a viable option as your role will involve you working with families in very rural areas, with limited public transport.

Connect2Staff/Connect2Kent, part of Commercial Services Trading/Kent Ltd, is an equal opportunities Employment Agency & Business and positively encourages applications from all suitably qualified and eligible candidates
