Children's Social Worker - Locality, Duty (GEORGIA) Wigan, England
Salary: GBP38 - GBP38 per hour
Our client Wigan Council is looking for a Children’s Social Worker to join their Locality & Duty Team.
The Duty service in Wigan consists of 5 duty teams and a Duty Academy; you will be on duty one week in five and have the support of a Team Manager, Advanced Practitioner and a Senior Social Worker. Families who we work with in Duty require our expert assessment and intervention skills.
The nature of the work within the Duty Service can be described as fast paced. You will work on one of the 5 main Duty teams, and given our 5‑week duty cycle this means that you will go on duty only one week out of every five. The Duty teams in Wigan hold cases of varying complexity; case transfer points include the Initial Child Protection Case Conference, the first CLA review, the first PLO meeting, and the 3rd 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 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 motivated to empower children and families is essential to support them in reaching and achieving their own solutions and in helping them make long‑term sustainable family plans.
Having good analytical skills is key to analysing, risk‑assessing and interpreting information or situations to solve difficult problems or to develop solutions and plans.
