Wigan, United Kingdom Remedy Social Work Full time

Our Client Wigan Council is looking for an experienced Senior Social Worker to join their Duty Service Team. The Duty Service in Wigan consists of five duty teams and a Duty Academy. You will be on duty one week in five. Each team consists of a Team Manager, an Advanced Practitioner, a Senior Social Worker and six Social Workers. Families who we work with in Duty require our expert assessment and intervention skills at the very first stage of assessment and support. The nature of the work within the Duty Service can be described as fast‑paced. You will work on one of the five main duty teams, and given our five‑week duty cycle this means that you will only be going on duty one in every five weeks. The teams in Wigan hold a varying complexity of cases. In our duty service, case transfer points include the Initial Child Protection Case Conference, the first CLA review, the first PLO meeting, and the third CIN meeting. The duty service does not hold cases long term; following your assessment and intervention period the outcome will determine the best team for the family to step across to. You will need to think quickly and be creative to overcome the complex challenges and issues you may face. Good interpersonal and caring skills will help you to support and meet the needs of children, young people and their families. Being able to be motivated to empower children and families is essential to support them to reach and achieve their own solutions and to assist in helping them make long‑term, sustainable family plans. Having good analytical skills is key to be able to analyse, risk‑assess and interpret information or situations to solve difficult problems or to develop solutions and plans. Requirements A Social Work qualification or equivalent. Understanding of relevant legislation. Continual professional development. Registered with Social Work England. Benefits of working with Remedy A personal one‑on‑one service from your highly experienced dedicated consultant. Top‑tier supplier across London giving us first access to jobs. Competitive referral scheme. Double payrolls each week. Terms & conditions apply. You will be required to fully register with Remedy for all locum positions. To be considered for this role, please apply with your CV to the social care team. Successful applicants will be required to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure via the DBS. Our objective is to be an equal‑opportunity employer and we welcome applications from everyone with suitable skills and ability regardless of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation, age, religion or belief. All applications will be accepted and reviewed solely on merit. #J-18808-Ljbffr
