Childrens Social Worker Family Safeguarding #000A3F7B1
Please be aware this is a Long Term Temporary post to start ASAP.
Our families, children and young people are at the heart of everything we do in Children’s Services.
In Blackpool we believe Children can achieve better outcomes when they are supported by their families and community and as a result we:
Work ‘with’ families, not ‘do things to them’.
Are child focussed, but support the whole family via our strengths based approach.
Build and nurture trusted relationships with children and families.
Be consistent and do what we say we will do.
Ensure that when formal intervention is required, we manage it at the lowest possible level.
Support our workforce and challenge them to deliver a great service.
Encourage our families and communities to be aspirational for themselves and each other.
Respect difference in families and communities and ensure we are inclusive.
Be transparent and objective in our decision making.
Learn from what works and what does not work and keep developing our services to build on the things that deliver the right outcomes.
If you like the sound of this and are passionate, dedicated to making a change and ready for a challenge – you could be the candidate we are looking for.
With excellent transport links between Blackpool and major cities, a growing housing market and a developing economy, there’s never been a better time to work in Blackpool. With a direct route along the M55/M6 your journey could be less than you think, along with Blackpool North rail station and secure, modern parking directly opposite our town centre offices, commuting is straightforward (no need to park and ride).
You will have knowledge and experience of undertaking pre-birth assessments, child protection, complex child in need and PLO/Pre proceedings. You will be able to demonstrate a good quality of work including court statements, assessments etc. and will be able to support the team manager with mentoring and coaching those less experienced members of your team. You will be enthusiastic, passionate and committed to improving the lived experience of our children. You will be a role model for the less experienced staff members demonstrating true professionalism in all you do. This will include providing learning opportunities, reflection and modelling. We are striving to improve our quality and performance and you will lead by example.
