We are looking for experienced and passionate Qualified Social Workers to join an ASSESSMENT TEAM. As part of this team, you will work in a busy and supportive environment, assessing and working with children and families, intervening where children need support to provide help at an earlier stage.

You will complete assessment work directly with children and their families, partnering with agencies including the police and health services to ensure the best outcomes and sustainable positive change. The service maintains a strong link with our Integrated Prevention and Earliest Help colleagues to promote community support when social care involvement is no longer necessary.
Working in accordance with social care legislation and local government requirements, and guided by the values and principles of social care, you will support the delivery of person-centered, safe, and effective social care services. Using your professional knowledge and experience, you will make assessments and decisions about appropriate interventions. Applying your significant social work experience and excellent communication skills, you will establish and maintain relationships with service users and other agencies to meet identified needs.
You will be committed to ensuring positive and sustainable results from your interventions. Using best practices, you will strive to achieve the best outcomes for children.
