Job Description
Hours: 35 - 3 days in the officer per week and 2 days working from home.
Your responsibilities include:
- Provide social work help and intervention to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in need so that children maintain a reasonable standard of health and development, receive reasonable parenting, and have a sense of permanence through secure attachment to their parents or carers. Where a child is disabled take action to minimise the effect of their disabilities so they have the opportunity to lead lives as normal a life as possible.
- Identify where children are unable to live at home, take action to secure permanence for them within a timescale that meets their needs. Where children are looked after address their needs in accordance with their care plan or pathway plan, so that they make progress and have every opportunity to fulfil their potential as adults.
- Make sure the child is at the centre of assessment, planning, intervention and review activity, understand their lives views and wishes (appropriate to their age and understanding) so that there is a narrative and understanding of the child and family’s history that informs actions taken to achieve positive change for the child.
- Act as a lead professional coordinating the work of professionals so that positive sustainable change is achieved for the child, or appropriate decisions are made about stepping up the intervention.
- Wherever possible work with parents / carers to strengthen protective factors and reduce risks to the child’s welfare, seeking to establish rapport and trust as a basis for parents changing their behaviour so that the child receives safe reasonable parenting, or alternative arrangements are made for bringing up the child.
- Work with foster carers, special guardians, prospective adopters and other people who are looking after someone else’s children, so that children’s needs are met and that they are able to live as normal a life as possible, understand their journey to their placement, are making good progress in terms of their health, development and education, and are prepared for their transition to adult life.
