**Permanent contracts | 37 hours per week | Level 2 or Senior Social Workers **£35,411 to £37,261 per annum (Grade J/K) | Corporate Parenting teams in North, Broadland & Great Yarmouth**

One vacancy in a Life Beyond Care team, two vacancies with In Care teams.

I am Jen Dewar, Head of Corporate parenting in North, Broadland and Great Yarmouth and I am seeking to recruit 4 social workers in total, across both In Care teams and Life Beyond Care. I welcome applicants from Level 2 Social Workers and Senior Social Workers.

As we embark upon 2023, we do so positively and proudly follow the recent publication of our Ofsted report, following a full ILAC inspection; we are delighted to have received a “good” grading. Ofsted described support for care leavers as demonstrating “exemplary practice” and said children in care are provided with “exceptional services.” We are looking for Social Workers who wish to join our patch, our ethos for children in care and care leavers and our vision for outstanding practice

We oversee all Looked After Children and Care Leavers in this patch, for whom we are their Corporate parent. Our In Care teams are responsible for those under the age of 16, ranging from babies with a care plan of adoption, long term foster care or those placed in residential homes. Our Life Beyond Care teams are responsible for those 16+, as they mature and approach adulthood, all the way through to 21 years of age (25 if they wish for and need ongoing support).

Our passion for ensuring our young people are equipped with the skills and resilience to navigate their journey through to independence, with the support of our own Support for Success team, starts from a young age and is led by the young person and their ambitions for their future. We know our young people, we listen and make plans which are co-produced alongside them, and ultimately, we are present and available to support them, building long-standing relationships and trust.

We are an ambitious patch who always strive for the best outcomes for our young people. At the heart of everything we do, regardless of role or team, remains child-focused and relationship-based practice, ensuring all our young people are treated as individuals and listening to their voice. We pride ourselves on our practice with young people, their families and their networks, maintaining that same focus in our practice with colleagues, partners and external agencies. We believe that despite being looked after, relationships with family, time spent with family members and family
- based care remains our priority, helping our young people through our Life Story approach to gain an understanding of their journey, provide them with honest answers to their questions and decisions made, and promoting their identity and networks.

As Corporate parents, we believe it is vital for our young people to be afforded opportunities to learn, and we work closely with our Virtual School to ensure education, employment and training is promoted. We not only promote health and wellbeing, but practice in a trauma informed way, incorporating therapeutic approaches within our work with children, young people, their carers and families. Our practitioners, clinicians and clinical psychologists within our Support for success team provide our in care and life beyond care teams with the specialist knowledge and skills required to reflect upon the needs of our young people.

With relevant professional vocational qualification in Social Work, you will have registration with Social Work England. You will have experience working within the Corporate Parenting area or transferable skills with the ability to motivate individuals and create high performing teams, you will bring strong leadership skills and will have managed performance during periods of change.

For an informal chat about joining our patch, please contact either Richard Corden, Team Manager of Life Beyond Care 3 on 01493 448253 or Karen Reynolds, Team Manager of In Care Team 2 on 01603 306158.
