Highway Maintenance Engineer Next Social Worker- Assessment Team (Childrens)

We work in a fast-paced, supportive environment where no two days are the same. Operating on a duty basis, we conduct all new s.47 investigations (child protection) and Social Work Assessments following referral. Our interventions are short-term, after which the child is moved to longer-term protection where a plan of help and support has been agreed.

It's a varied role, involving assessments, court work, child protection investigations, multi-agency meetings and case planning.

PLEASE NOTE: We are ONLY accepting applications from qualified or soon-to-be-qualified social workers. You MUST have (or be close to completing) a degree in Social Work, a Certificate of Qualification in Social Work (CQSW), Diploma in Social Work (DipSW), or Certificate in Social Services (CSS), as well as experience working with children and families. We will NOT consider applications from candidates who do not meet these criteria.

As well as a whole host of excellent benefits, including local government pension scheme, competitive pay, excellent training and flexible working. What's more, you'll receive a £5,000 retention payment after two years.
