Senior Social Worker
5 days ago
Delivering exceptional support to vulnerable children and families is at the heart of this role. As a Senior Social Worker in our Community Social Work Team, you will be a vital link between our social care teams and the Early Help Partnership.
You will support practitioners working with vulnerable children, young people, and their families to understand risk and harm and promote clarity where the level of risk is unclear. Part of your role will also involve involvement with Early Help to improve outcomes for children and young people not currently open to Children's Social Care and prevent their needs from escalating unnecessarily.
This is a county-wide team comprising 8 social workers, two deputy managers, and a team manager. Social Workers within the team are non-case holding and support community practitioners to reflect on worries for children and their families, identify next steps, and follow-up to ensure practitioners are confident in completing agreed actions, providing or signposting to support required.
Community Social Workers also work alongside community practitioners who are part of a Team Around the Family where there are concerns that the risk is increasing, where there are multiple needs which are not being met, or there is a particularly complex situation to address.
The primary purpose of the Community Social Worker is to respond to emerging risk and manage de-escalating risk held in the Community. The Team develops and delivers practitioner training in partnership with the Gloucestershire Children's Safeguarding Partnership and Health professionals and upskills practitioners utilising a 'project approach', identifying and disseminating best practice which demonstrates impact, resulting in sustained improvements for children and families.
This role requires a recognised qualification in Social Work, Social Work England registration, and a full driving licence. You will also need to have passed your Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) and have at least 3 years of frontline Social Work experience. We offer a supportive team environment, opportunities for CPD, and a chance to develop your skills and knowledge in a dynamic and rapidly evolving field.
As a valued member of our team, you will be expected to work collaboratively with colleagues, contribute to the development of best practice, and engage with the community to promote the work of the team and the Council.
Gloucestershire County Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people or vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates.
