Qualified Social Worker, Duty Team
Pay rate: £46.18 per hour
Contract role
We are recruiting experienced Social Workers to work in a Duty Team in St Helens.
The Social Worker will respond to referrals received from MASH and undertake assessments within set timescales, no longer than 45 days. A duty social worker will be responsible for identifying needs and working with children and families to offer support and implement plans. The role requires experience working with children and families in a safeguarding setting, and skills in dealing with section 47 enquiries, CIN, assessments, planning, and working with professionals to support children and families.
The work involves working with children on short-term child in need plans until step down or step up to ICPC; cases would then transfer to the longer-term assessment service. The social worker should demonstrate effective communication skills and preferably have some experience with Signs of Safety, although this is not essential. The role offers flexibility to work from home and the office, with a preference for 2 days in the office or full week if on duty. The duty shift is one week in four.
