Essex, United Kingdom CAFCASS Full time

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

Salary Range: £41,550 - £46,332

Location: Chelmsford (covering Essex, Southend, and Thurrock)

Overview

We are seeking a dedicated Family Court Adviser (Social Worker) to join our Public and Private Law division. This role involves working within the Essex region, including areas such as Southend and Thurrock.

Our organization empowers professionals to operate in a hybrid work environment, equipping them with the necessary resources and support to effectively advocate for children and young people during critical family court proceedings.

We take pride in our recent Ofsted inspection, which recognized our services as 'outstanding'. This achievement motivates us to continuously improve our support for children and families.

Our team operates across various geographical divisions:

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

While your primary responsibilities will involve families within these specific areas, flexibility to travel across the county may be required based on demand.

Work Environment

This role is based in our Chelmsford office, but we embrace flexible and remote working arrangements, allowing for a balanced approach to work and personal commitments.

We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, ensuring that our team reflects the variety of backgrounds and experiences of the families we serve. We particularly encourage applications from individuals of diverse backgrounds.

Our organization offers comprehensive wellbeing support and a range of benefits to enhance your work experience.

Role Responsibilities

As a Family Court Adviser, you will engage in a variety of cases where families need assistance in establishing the best arrangements for the welfare of their children, or where local authorities have significant concerns that necessitate our involvement. Your role will include:

  • Conducting direct interactions with children to understand their perspectives and wishes.
  • Representing children's interests in court through detailed reports and testimony.
  • Advocating for arrangements that prioritize the wellbeing of children.

Candidate Profile

This position is rewarding and impactful, but it requires a specific skill set. Candidates must be registered social workers with Social Work England, possessing a minimum of three years of experience working with children and families. The ideal candidate will be organized, resilient, and capable of working autonomously.

For further details about the role and to access the job description, please refer to our resources.

We understand that transitioning to a new role is a significant decision, and we encourage you to gather any necessary information before proceeding with your application.

We look forward to your interest in this vital role within our organization.
