1 month ago

Reigate, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

Could you see yourself living and working in the beautiful county of Surrey? If so, we have a fantastic opportunity working for an ambitious authority who have got a clear vision on improving their children's services.

When not working with residents in the community, Surrey are keen to support agile working with a combination of home and office working. They are keen to get the balance right of providing flexibility but ensuring you feel connected to your team and the service.

The salary range for Advanced Social Workers is £46,399 - £49,588 per annum. They also offer a financial package of up to £6,000 which is payable in 3 instalments across your first 18 months in post. Information about qualifying criteria to receive this payment will be provided as requested as well as other financial benefits available to you including professional fees, pension contributions and much more.

Are you at a point in your career where you want to take on supervisory responsibility whilst utilising your skills as an experienced social worker? If so, the Advanced Social Worker role enables you to work on complex cases whilst also giving you the opportunity to progress your career through contributing and supporting managers to develop the skills and knowledge within the team, whilst occasionally deputising for the Team Manager. You will also have the opportunity to join Advanced Social Worker colleagues in county wide learning activities organised by the Surrey Children's Service Academy with a clear professional development pathway.

About working with Children Looked After:

As a member in the Looked After Children's Team, your aim and role will be to support children living with relatives, friends or foster families and perspective adopters or older children living in children's homes and semi-independent units. You will build sustainable relationships with them and plan for their permanence. You will be responsible for ensuring their safety and support them towards independence.

Through regular visits, assessments and reviewing their Care Plan, you will nurture and develop meaningful relationships with these children; understand and interpret their wishes; and champion and support them to reach their full potential. Occasionally, you will be required to prepare reports and attend court. You will be supported in this challenging role with regular supervision and consultations with a Mental Health Focused Social Worker. You will also find support by working alongside other social workers, family support workers and partnership organisations such as: Health Services, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (New Leaf), Independent Reviewing officers and carers. You will also be supported in your career development by your management team and also by the Surrey Academy.

Does this sound like the team for you? If so, do not waste any time in applying
