Qualified Social Worker, Locality, Duty, CWD and the Hub Team
Pay rate £38 per hour
Contract role
Vitalis are recruiting for a Qualified Social Worker to work in a Locality, Duty, CWD and the Hub team in Wigan.
Position Overview
The Duty service in Wigan consists of 5 duty teams and a Duty Academy; you will be on Duty one week in five and have the support of a Team Manager, Advanced Practitioner and a Senior Social worker. Families who we work with in Duty require our expert assessment and intervention skills at the very first stage of assessment and support.
The nature of the work within the Duty Service can be described as fast paced; you will work on one of the 5 main Duty teams, and given our 5‑week Duty cycle this means that you will only be going on Duty 1 in every 5 weeks. The Duty teams in Wigan hold a varying complexity of cases, and in our Duty service, 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 and following your assessment and intervention period the outcome will determine the best team for the family to step across to.
You will have the ability to think quickly and be creative to overcome complex challenges and issues you may face. You will have good interpersonal and caring skills to support and meet the needs of children, young people, and their families. Being able to be motivated to empower children and families is essential to support them in reaching and achieving their own solutions and in helping them make long‑term sustainable family plans.
