Birmingham, United Kingdom Birmingham Children’s Trust Full time

Are you looking for a new opportunity in an inclusive, stable, and supportive team environment? Then we will give you the opportunity to achieve this within Birmingham Children’s Trust.

We are looking for enthusiastic and forward-thinking Social Work Assistant to join our Special Guardianship and Private Fostering Support Team. As a Service it is our ambition to support as many children as possible to live within their birth families, and because of our success we are expanding our support offer. We have a vacancy for a Social Work Assistant to work with our Special Guardianship and Private Fostering carers and to support the work of social workers within the team.

Our specialist SGO and Support Team supports arrangements for children and young people who are cared for by a relative or friend, where their own parents are not able to. We are a dedicated passionate social work service, led by experienced Assistant Head of Service and Senior Practitioners.

In the Family and Friends Fostering Service we work closely with our colleagues across the Trust and have access to key resources, specialist social care services and robust multi-agency partnership working to assist us in achieving the most positive outcomes.

Our fostering service and Birmingham Children’s Trust have both received Good in Ofsted inspections, so it is a great time to join us:
**_ About you._**

These are key roles in our organisation, so naturally we’re looking for experience of working in diverse organisations or teams, as well as ideally a background previously working with children in care, fostering, statutory bodies or voluntary agencies.

As a Social Work Assistant, you will require relationship, assessment, and support skills so you can provide support and guidance, responding to individual needs of our families. You will need a good level of interpersonal relationship-based skills, with an ability to work effectively and flexibly with colleagues, partners, children, and carers, to ensure that the child remains at the centre of your work and practice.

**_ About Us..why we are different as a Trust._**

We know and understand that working in social care is hard work and challenging at times, that’s why we reward you with a very attractive employment offer.

Alongside regular supervision, access to training and shared learning, mental health and well-being support, we offer a wider range of benefits available including competitive rewards and pension, a generous annual leave package with 30 days leave plus bank holidays; Car Leasing Scheme;** **to name a few.

We are proud to be an Equal Opportunities Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees - a place where we can all be ourselves and succeed on merit.

We actively deliver services that are culturally responsive to the needs of the children, parents and carers we work with to deliver equality, diversity and inclusivity in all we do.

Closing date 14 August 2023

Interviews will be held on 11 August 2023
