Childrens Social Worker Duty LAC #000A34721
Please be aware this is a Long Term Temporary post to start ASAP.
The Duty service in Wigan consists of 5 duty teams and a Duty Academy. You will be on Duty one week in five and will have the support of a Team Manager, Advanced Practitioner, and a Senior Social Worker. Families in Duty require our expert assessment and intervention skills at the very first stage of assessment and support.
The work within the Duty Service is fast-paced. You will work on one of the 5 main Duty teams, following a 5-week Duty cycle, meaning you will go on Duty once every 5 weeks. The Duty teams in Wigan handle cases of varying complexity. Case transfer points include the Initial Child Protection Case Conference, the first CLA review, the first PLO meeting, and the 3rd CIN meeting. The Duty service does not hold cases long-term; after assessment and intervention, the outcome will determine the most suitable team for the family to transition to.
You will need to think quickly and creatively to overcome complex challenges. Good interpersonal and caring skills are essential to support and meet the needs of children, young people, and their families. Motivating children and families to empower them to reach their own solutions and develop long-term sustainable family plans is crucial.
Strong analytical skills are key to assessing risks, interpreting information, solving problems, and developing solutions and plans.
