**Advanced Practitioner**

***We are looking for an Advanced Practitioner (AP) with experience working with children with complex needs and disabilities to support and drive social work practice across the service. The AP will hold a small caseload of complex children as well as supporting across the social work teams. It is an exciting time to join Trafford Complex Needs Service with a new, dedicated Head of Service leading a review and potential redesign of the service involving key partners and stakeholders. You will be able to be part of this redesign work bringing your expertise with this client group.

In Trafford you will find a supportive culture and flexible working arrangements. There is a high level of management support within the service with two Practice Managers and the dedicated Head of Service. We will consider experienced senior practitioners with an interest in this client group who can demonstrate an understanding of additional needs and disabilities.

**What does it feel like to work at Trafford?**

In the course of recent work, colleagues talked about their experience of working in Trafford. They told us:
“It is excellent to work for a local authority that is diverse and understanding. In particular for me, flexibility with work life balance is very helpful as a person with a young family.”

“Staff are supportive and Trafford offers a warm and welcoming working environment.”

**The Trafford approach**

Here in Trafford Children’s Services our vision is that our teams are offering the right help at the right time, and that at all levels our interventions make life better for children and families. We are ambitious for our children and for our practitioners - and our core value is ‘would this be good enough for my child’?

In Trafford our approach is strengths-based, using relational and restorative practice. We want to have practitioners and managers who are confident and brave in their practice and are supported by strong leaders at all levels.

As a relatively small local authority, we pride ourselves on our friendly teams, manageable caseloads, creative approach and colleagues who support each other. We were delighted to see this recognised in the Ofsted report that followed our ILACS inspection in late 2022, which highlighted that “social workers in Trafford are overwhelmingly positive about both the local authority and the support they receive.”
