Contract role
Vitalis are recruiting for a Qualified Social Worker to work as a Team Manager for a First Response Duty Team in Leicestershire County Council.
Our First Response Children’s Duty comprises of a screening and assessment team and responds to immediate and non-immediate concerns in respect of children that meet a statutory threshold for intervention. The screening team is responsible for incoming information regarding children and families, considering support needs, safeguarding and assessing risk. The assessment team is responsible for Section 17, assessment of need across the county, as well as safeguarding Section 47 enquiries.
You will be managing a team of 5-6 SW’s completing assessments on a four week duty cycle and progressing work to the relevant team for on-going intervention if further services are required. Incoming strategy discussions are completed by our MACPT ( Multi-Agency Child Protection Team).
You will need to be adaptable, to work well under pressure both individually and as part of a team and work to tight timescales.
