About the role
Do you have experience in Children’s Statutory Safeguarding Services? Are you ingenious and innovative in your practice? Are you committed to achieving the very best for children and families?
Together for Children is seeking to recruit Peripatetic Social Workers to work across three service areas within Children’s Services – ICRT, Assessment and Locality Teams. Whilst successful candidates will be deployed to work across the teams to support peaks in demand, assignments in each area are likely to last a number of months as you will be required to carry a case load. We are looking for experienced Social Workers who can work flexibly and who would welcome the challenge of working in different teams as required.
Our offer
You will join a small social work team and benefit from a high level of support and guidance from a Team Manager and Assistant Team Manager. We pride ourselves on having a visible senior management team who promote a nurturing, learning environment with high support and high challenge.
We have adopted the Signs of Safety model of practice and it is embedded in all areas of practice across the service. Applications are welcomed from those with and without any knowledge and experience of Signs of Safety, as we have the benefit of an extensive training and support offer via our dedicated Signs of Safety team.
We firmly believe in investing in our workforce development and recognise the benefits of training our social work staff to equip them with the skills and knowledge to deliver good quality social work. Additional specialist training programmes currently offered to staff include Trauma Informed Practice and Safe & Together training. This training compliments new initiatives within the company such as our edge of care team ‘WEAR Together’ and specialist support services for children and young people who have experienced neglect and abuse.
This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
