3 weeks ago

Northamptonshire, United Kingdom Opus People Solutions Full time

We are recruiting for the Northamtonshire Children's Trust Safeguarding service across multiple sites.

**General Overview**

The NCT safeguarding team receives cases from the Duty and Assessment Team at the trust. Safeguarding normally pick up cases after they have been to first conference with the assessment service and will take them typically as far as first hearing, beforethey transfer to long term teams.

This service consists of 15 teams, spread across North Northamptonshire (Wellingborough / Kettering / Corby), and West Northamptonshire (Daventry / Northampton).

The Safeguarding service is supported by a stable, permanent managerial team, who provide regular supervision and support to the teams. Both team managers and service managers aim to be highly visible and will spend 1-2 days per week in office to supportface to face with any concerns, whilst being easily accessible remotely too.

The teams Strategic Manager has been with the trust a number of years, having initially worked as a locum, before joining the service permanently in Safeguarding.

The service does a lot of activity related to county lines, gang based issues, and drugs/weaponry use. The team is keen to grow and develop this area of work, and is always keen to speak to social workers with an interest in this area.

**Working Arrangements**

Social Workers typically are based in an office nearest to where their designated cases lie, however for social workers that have cross-county visits to carry out, there is full flexibility for them to 'hot desk' at any of the locality offices across Northamptonshire.

The service is flexible with its approach to working hours, and will consider a range of working setups to suit their staff. Condensed hours (over 4 days) can be considered, along with standard full/part time hours.

Caseloads currently sit at up to 25, with the goal to reduce to 22 per head, with caseloads for part time staff being reduced accordingly. The service has seen a rise in complex cases in recent years, however complex cases are often allocated based on experiencelevels, and staff with complex caseloads receive full support from Advanced Practitioners and managers. Cases that become complex after initial investigation will be given full senior support.

**Team Feel**

The safeguarding team at NCT strives to be seen as a supportive, positive environment to work in. The team boasts security due to having a fully permanent managerial team, and both locum and perm staff are supported to challenge themselves and develop intheir career.

Training is available to locum and perm staff, and the service aims to invest in its team members, regardless of their status within the service at the time. The perm team are committed and passionate about the service they provide, and welcome both permanentand locum staff to the service with open arms, they are 'all in it together'.

**Team Structure**:
Each team consists of approximately 8-10 staff each, with every team having a Team Manager, Advanced Practitioner, Social Workers, Newly Qualified Social Workers, and Family Support Workers.

**Expenses**:
£0.45p per mile in mileage
