About The Service
Our values inspire our Outstanding Practice Framework, which creates the context for you as a Social Worker in Wandsworth to build relationships with families that bring about change to support children to live at home wherever possible. You will join multiagency teams offering the best practice conditions we’ve ever had to achieve the most positive outcomes for children and families. You will have solid and strong leadership in Ana Popovici and Rasheed Pendry, who have an exciting vision to transform our approaches to the most vulnerable in society.
Our Children’s Social Work Service consists of the newly formed Family Help and the Children We Care For services that have a stable, knowledgeable and creative team. Social workers benefit from small teams, regular supervision and a caseload that allows them to spend time with children and young people building relationships and building on their strengths and those of their wider family network. You will be a valued member of our team and encouraged to be a leader and champion of exemplary practice.
Our model aims to support children and their families through consistent relationships and skilled interventions, rooted in systemic practice. You will work with families to co-produce child and family assessments, and build family led plans under Child in Need and Child Protection frameworks, as well as in care proceedings.
Our social workers practice alongside co-located Children’s Practitioners, Adult Mental Health Practitioners, Substance Misuse and Domestic Abuse Practitioners. We have in-house family therapy and Social Care CAMHS teams, as well as a range of opportunities for progression into management or practice specialist social work roles.
