Opus People Solutions, on behalf of Walsall Council, has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Social Worker to join their Safeguarding Team.
Job Details:
* Job Title: Senior Social Worker - Safeguarding
* Length of assignment: 3 Months
* Hours per week: 37
* Hourly rate: £33.30
* Location: Walsall

About the Role:
We have introduced the Family Safeguarding Model, where social workers work alongside specialist adult practitioners. Our goal is to keep children safe in their families by providing timely help, protection, and support.
The model has been in place for over a year, and Ofsted has reported exceptional practice from social workers. This approach improves children’s experiences and supports families to make positive changes in their lives. As a result:
* Children supported by a child protection plan have been reduced by half
* Children entering care have decreased by 30%
Responsibilities:
* Working with families in need and at risk within the North locality.
* Collaborating with adult practitioners under the family safeguarding model.
If you are passionate about making a difference, have at least 3 years of social work experience, and are interested in this role, we would love to hear from you.
