Essex, United Kingdom CAFCASS Full time

Position: Family Court Adviser (Social Worker) - Public and Private Law

Salary: £41,550 - £46,332

Location: Flexible across Essex and surrounding areas

About the Role

We are seeking a dedicated Family Court Adviser (Social Worker) to join our Public and Private Law division. This role is crucial in ensuring that children and young people's voices are heard during family court proceedings.

Our organization is committed to fostering a supportive environment where employees can work in a hybrid manner, equipped with the necessary resources to effectively advocate for the welfare of children involved in legal matters.

Our recent Ofsted inspection highlighted our commitment to excellence, motivating us to continually enhance our services for families.

Our team operates across several local authority areas, divided into three specialized units:

  • Unit 1: Southend/Thurrock
  • Unit 2: South Chelmsford, Basildon, Grays, Harlow, and Epping
  • Unit 3: North Essex (Clacton, Colchester, North Chelmsford, Braintree, Harwich)

While you will primarily work with families in designated areas, flexibility in travel may be required based on case demands.

Work Environment

This position is based in a collaborative office setting, with the flexibility to work remotely. Your location relative to the office is not a critical factor.

We pride ourselves on being an inclusive organization that values diversity and ensures a safe environment for all employees. We actively encourage applications from individuals of varied backgrounds to reflect the communities we serve.

We offer comprehensive wellbeing support and a range of benefits designed to promote a healthy work-life balance.

Role Responsibilities

As a Family Court Adviser, you will engage in cases where families need assistance in determining the best arrangements for their children or where local authorities have raised significant concerns. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Conducting direct interactions with children to understand their perspectives.
  • Representing children's views in court through detailed reports.
  • Advocating for outcomes that prioritize the best interests of the children involved.

Candidate Profile

This role is fulfilling yet challenging, requiring a registered social worker with a minimum of three years of experience working with children and families. Ideal candidates will be organized, resilient, and capable of working autonomously.

For more information about the role and to review the job description, please refer to our resources.

Application Process

Our application process is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly. You can save your progress and return to complete your application at your convenience.

We understand that transitioning to a new role is significant, and we encourage potential candidates to seek additional information about the position and our organization.
