Sheffield, United Kingdom Social Work England Full time

**The Role**

Social Work England are the specialist regulator for social work in England, focused on enabling positive change in social work. Every day, social workers support millions of people to improve their chances in life. We are taking a new approach to regulating social workers in their vital roles. We believe in the power of collaboration and share a common goal with those we regulate - to protect the public, enable positive change and ultimately improve people’s lives.

**Team**

Fitness to practise concerns are submitted to the team, risk assessed by triage team to determine if it is necessary to open an investigation. The key questions the team seek to determine at the initial assessment stage are whether the matter reported is sufficiently serious and whether there are “reasonable grounds” to start a full investigation. Members of the triage team determine whether there are reasonable grounds, within this they will consider whether there is likely to be any evidence to support the concern, whether there has been a breach of established standards or guidance, whether the incident is isolated or repeated and what action has been taken already to address the concern.

If deemed as a concern this is passed to the investigations team. The investigators will provide a copy of all relevant information to the social worker and offer them the opportunity to give a written response. At this stage further information will be requested to fully understand the case. Once the investigation has been concluded, a further response can be sought from the social worker or the informant if new or conflicting evidence has been discovered.

**Purpose of the role**

This role is key to the effectiveness of Social Work England’s fitness to practise function by providing clear and timely professional advice in relation to concerns raised about social workers.

Working as part of the triage and case progression team you will provide professional advice to support the robust initial review and risk assessment of concerns about social workers. You will also play a key role in the on-going assessment and review of fitness to practise investigations.

You will work collaboratively with the engagement team to identify, manage, and monitor concerns appropriate for resolution at a local level.

**What you will do**
- You will provide up-to-date and relevant professional advice as part of the initial assessment of concerns raised about social workers.
- You will assist the triage team with assessment of risk posed to members of the public following receipt of concerns about social workers’ practice.
- In appropriate cases, you will support the investigations teams to identify key lines of enquiry and to develop investigation plans.
- You will work collaboratively with other Social Work England staff and key external stakeholders to identify the evidence required to assess whether there is a case to answer.
- You will evaluate evidence gathered by the investigations teams, provide expertise to the investigations process and contribute to the regular review and risk assessment of fitness to practise investigations.
- You will work with the engagement team to identify and monitor concerns suitable for management and resolution at a local level.
- You will participate in the quality assurance of decision-making across the fitness to practise directorate.
- You will support continuous improvement initiatives relating to the professional advice function and decision-making processes.
- You will undertake any other reasonable duties as may be assigned from time to time.
