The DSCO will strategically lead in embedding the social care elements of the SEND strategy across Walsall local authority and ensure we are compliant with legislative requirements of the SEND Code of Practice 0-25 (2015), and that we are meeting our statutory responsibilities under the Children and Family Act (2014) and Care Act (2014).

The Designated Social Care Officer will support colleagues in children’s social care to ensure they meet their statutory duties for children and young people with SEND aged 0-25, leading to improved outcomes for children and young people with SEND.

The post holder will represent Walsall Council at key regional and national events and will be a source of expert professional advice on SEND reforms relating to social care within Walsall and will seek to learn nationally from the evidence base of best practice.

**We are looking for a social worker that**:

- Is passionate about making a positive difference to the lives of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
- Has a good knowledge and understanding of both social care legislation and the SEND reforms.
- Is confident and competent to negotiate with and influence others, build and nurture effective partnerships, working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders across the Local Authority, community, parent and voluntary organisations and promoting opportunities for co-production.
- Is confident and can offer training, advice and guidance to staff throughout the organisation and to partner agencies as the social care lead.
- Is able to identify areas of the EHCP processes which require practice improvement and be able to present solutions.

If you are passionate about supporting our children and young people with SEN needs, and want to work as part of a friendly team in a OFSTED-rated Good local authority; committed to ongoing learning where you will receive good supervision and training please get in touch for an informal discussion with Zoe Morgan, Head of Service on 07775 541850.

**Equality Statement**

We want our staff and management teams to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve in Walsall, and in Children’s Social Care we are committed to promoting equality and anti-discriminatory practice.

As part of this we are trialling clinical supervision for our Social Workers and Team Managers in partnership with The Child Psychology Service, as part of an enhanced wellbeing programme for all staff.

We have a comprehensive career development offer including specialist training.
