As a Social Worker, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary team that uses a trauma-informed approach to help families address their difficulties with substance/alcohol use, relationships, mental health concerns, and other complex issues.
You will work closely with a range of professionals, including the local authority, CAFCASS, and community drug and alcohol services. Your role will require you to undertake comprehensive assessments and plan and deliver a programme of work to meet the needs of the family.
The focus of your work will be in supporting families where domestic abuse and relational patterns have been identified as a primary area of need. You will provide regular reports to Court and attend court regularly to support your allocated families through the FDAC proceedings.
About YouWe are looking for a qualified social worker with experience of working with families subject to care proceedings. You will have experience of working with families who have complex needs, including drug and alcohol misuse issues, mental health difficulties, and trauma.
You will be an empathetic and creative social worker who is interested in working intensively with families to help create lasting change. You will have good problem-solving skills, be a team player, and be non-judgmental in your approach.
Current registration with Social Work England is essential, as is a DipSW/Degree in Social Work or equivalent. You will also need a driving license and access to a car during working hours and business insurance.
