About Us

Polaris Children's Services is a leading provider of children's services, delivering innovative and outcomes-based solutions that make a real difference in the lives of children, young people, and families.

Our Mission

We are committed to supporting the development of newly qualified social workers, providing a strong organisational commitment to staff learning and development that aims to improve outcomes for children, young people, and families.

The ASYE Programme

The Assessed and Supported Year in Employment programme is a 12-month programme that must be successfully completed by an NQSW in order to practise as a social worker at PCS. The programme is designed to enable the NQSW to develop their professional competence and confidence alongside their skills, knowledge, and capability, and to make the transition from formal study to practice.

Key Responsibilities
  • Hold case responsibility, oversee and support the delivery of intervention services to children, young people, and families, working in a way that promotes equality, diversity, and rights for all individuals associated with the service.
  • Respond to referrals or service requests from Local Authority partners.
  • Implement, monitor, and review service plans relating to the assessed needs of children, young people, and their families, in partnership with other agencies.
  • Refer children, young people, and their families to appropriate specialist or universal services in order that their needs are met.
  • Contribute to the provision of regular returns/contract monitoring reports to the customer.
  • Support the Service Manager in the delivery of the Key Performance Indicators for the service.
Requirements

Please note that this is a community role, and you will need to be able to travel to Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, and Derby. The office base is in Mansfield, and there will be an expectation of hybrid working (a combination of working in the office, community visits, and home-based working).

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Holds a Social Work qualification recognised by Social Work England or equivalent body.
  • Proven experience of working with children, young people, and their families (including foster parents) with complex and multiple needs, including child protection issues.
  • A comprehensive working knowledge of all relevant legislation pertaining to children's services and fostering, as well as publications that inform current thinking regarding good practice and the safeguarding of children and young people.
  • Ability to work effectively in partnership with Local Authorities and partner agencies.
Safeguarding

Polaris Children's Services is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults and expects all staff to share this commitment.
