Working Hours: 36 hours per week (Mon-Thurs 9:00 AM 5:00 PM, Fri 9:00 AM 4:00 PM)
Assignment Length: 6 months
Driver preference: Drivers preferred due to city-wide coverage

Role Overview:
21HSC is seeking an experienced Senior Practitioner to join the Childrens Services team. The Senior Practitioner will play a pivotal role in managing Initial Referral Discussions (IRDs) for unallocated children across the city, assessing risk and need, and coordinating necessary services to ensure the safety and well-being of vulnerable children. This role requires strong decision-making, assessment skills, and the ability to collaborate with multiple agencies to create safe and effective plans for children at risk.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Undertake initial assessments for children subject to IRDs, assessing risk, need, and determining whether additional services are required, including referrals to other teams or external agencies/third-sector organisations.
  • Write comprehensive assessment reports, ensuring clear and accurate chronologies are updated.
  • Organise and manage Child Protection Planning Meetings (CPPMs), including conducting CP visits, safety planning, and report writing.
  • Some cases may require alternative care measures via Section 25 or Child Protection Orders (CPO), so the ability to discuss high-risk cases with families and negotiate safe, suitable care plans is essential.
  • Provide ongoing support to children and families, ensuring necessary services are delivered effectively and in a timely manner.

Experience and Qualifications:

  • Extensive experience in managing child protection cases within a statutory children and families team.
  • In-depth knowledge of statutory child protection procedures, including IRDs, CPPMs, and safety planning.
  • Proven experience in writing detailed assessment reports and updating chronologies in line with statutory requirements.
  • Ability to work confidently with families in high-risk situations, negotiating and facilitating safety plans where necessary.
  • Strong collaborative skills, with experience of working effectively with other professionals, including social work colleagues, health services, police, and third-sector organisations.
