We are seeking passionate and skilled Children’s Social Workers to join our frontline and corporate parenting services. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to the safety, stability, and long-term outcomes of children, young people, and families.

Whether working within Child Protection, Children in Need, or Children in Care, you will play a vital role in assessing risk, building relationships, coordinating multi-agency support, and ensuring every child’s voice is heard.

You will be supported by experienced managers, reflective supervision, a strong team culture, and a commitment to high-quality, child-centred practice.

Build meaningful, trusting relationships with children, young people, and families to understand their experiences and promote positive change.

Lead and participate in multi-agency meetings such as strategy discussions, ICPCs, core groups, LAC reviews, and planning meetings.

Develop and implement outcome-focused plans that ensure children’s safety, stability, and wellbeing.

Work closely with foster carers, residential homes, schools, health, police, and voluntary services.

Prepare clear, accurate case records, assessments, and court-ready reports within required timescales.

Promote stability and permanency for children in care, including contributing to care planning, life-story work, and pathway planning for care leavers.

Advocate for children’s rights and ensure their voice is central in all decision-making.

Participate in supervision and contribute to a supportive, reflective team culture.

About You

Qualified Social Worker with Social Work England registration.

Strong understanding of safeguarding thresholds, risk assessment, and statutory responsibilities in children’s services.

Skilled at building rapport with children and families, even in challenging situations.

Confident managing complex caseloads and working collaboratively with multi-agency partners.
