Our client Knowsley Borough Council is looking for a Qualified Social Worker to join their Child Protection (no court work) team. Duty 1:8 weeks and transfer at first hearing so Social Workers are not carrying court work, which is unusual in a CP team.
Our service offers a structured and positive working model, where Social Workers undertake duty on a 1 in 8-week rota. During duty weeks, newly allocated cases are progressed up to first hearing, after which they are transferred on for proceedings. This approach enables Social Workers to focus on timely decision-making and effective intervention while maintaining sustainable caseloads.
Outside of duty weeks, Social Workers have 7 weeks dedicated to working with families, allowing them to:
- Complete assessments thoroughly
- Ensure children and families access the right level of support and intervention
- Safeguard and manage CIN and CP cases effectively
This model supports both quality practice and staff wellbeing by providing protected time to focus on meaningful work with families.
Benefits of working with Remedy:
- A personal one-on-one service from your highly experienced dedicated consultant.
- Top tier supplier across London giving us first access to jobs.
- Referral bonus - up to £250 per person placed.
- Double payrolls each week.
