Children’s Social Worker, Safeguarding team, Reading
Pay rate £42 per hour
Contract role, Together for Families team
We are recruiting for experienced Children’s Social Worker in the Reading area.
This to work in a Together for Families team
- Our new Together for Families Service brings together under one service our Children Single Point of Access (CSPoA) team, the Missing and Exploitation team, the Supporting Families team and combines the former Access & Assessment (A&A) and Family Intervention (FIT) teams into four Together for Families teams.
- Our Together for Families teams will allow for relational social work to be at the heart of our practice; with a relentless focus in developing trusting relationships with children and young people, to hear what they are telling us and to understand their lived experience so we can support them and their parents/families to achieve the very best outcomes.
- The main difference you’ll notice is that the same social worker will be allocated to a child or young person for the duration of the time that their case is open to Children’s Social Care. This remains until we either close the case or the child/young person is transferred to our Children Looked After Service for ongoing support.
There is plenty of hybrid working available.
Please get in touch for more information.
Don’t forget, if this role isn’t the perfect fit, we’re confident we can find one that is. We recruit across a wide range of public sector specialisms, including:
- Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO)
- Best Interest Assessor (BIA)
- Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH)
- Looked After Children (LAC)
- Children’s Social Work
- Adult Social Work
- Service Manager
- Head of Service
- Team Manager
- Assistant Team Manager
- A wide range of housing roles
