* Develop, implement and review multi-agency plans to safeguard children and achieve positive outcomes.
* Manage complex cases, contribute to permanency planning and support timely decision-making for children in care.
* Prepare high-quality, evidence-based reports and recommendations for conferences, court proceedings and other statutory meetings.
* Work effectively with partner agencies, families and professionals to achieve safe and sustainable outcomes.
* Maintain accurate case records and ensure all statutory duties, legislation and local policies are followed.
* Attend court and provide evidence where required.
We are looking for a confident, committed and experienced Social Worker who has:
* A recognised Social Work qualification and current Social Work England registration.
* Experience working within Children's Social Care, particularly Child Protection and/or Through Care.
* Strong knowledge of safeguarding legislation, statutory processes and child protection procedures.
* Experience completing assessments, managing risk and developing effective safety plans.
* Knowledge of public law proceedings and court orders, including Care Orders, Supervision Orders, Special Guardianship Orders and Placement Orders.
* A good understanding of permanence planning and achieving stability for children.
* Excellent report-writing, analytical and multi-agency working skills.
* The ability to manage a caseload independently while working collaboratively within a supportive team.
* Court experience is highly desirable; however, training and professional support will be provided.
