London, Greater London, United Kingdom London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Full time
Permanence Specialist Role

We are seeking a dedicated social worker to join our Kinship and Adoption Team in London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. This role involves working closely with professionals and agencies to progress permanency plans for Looked After Children.

About the Role

This unique position is designed to holistically support children in securing permanent homes and a brighter future. You will work in line with Adoption and Fostering legislation, supervising Reg 24 carers, ensuring care standards, supporting carers, monitoring the welfare and progress of Looked After Children, and providing post-Special Guardianship Order (SGO) support.

Key Responsibilities
  • Supervise Reg 24 carers and ensure high-quality care standards.
  • Support carers in their roles and monitor the welfare and progress of Looked After Children.
  • Provide post-Special Guardianship Order (SGO) support.
Requirements

You should be a passionate, caring, and dedicated social worker with at least two years of post-qualifying experience working with children and families. While direct experience with an Adoption and Special Guardianship team is not essential, safeguarding experience and the ability to engage and communicate effectively with children and families are crucial. You should excel in diverse communities, promote good practice, and adhere to equal opportunities policies.

What We Offer

In return for your dedication, we offer a competitive salary of £44,765, a generous pension scheme, up to 31 days of annual leave, flexible working opportunities, and significant investment in your learning and development. Our council supports flexible working, providing the necessary IT to work from any location that meets the needs of the vulnerable people we support. We also provide excellent support for your wellbeing.
