Senior Social Worker - Duty and Assessment

Senior Social Worker – Duty and Assessment

Wigan

£40 per hour

The Duty service in Wigan consists of 5 duty teams and a Duty Academy. You will be on Duty one week in five. Each team consists of a Team Manager, Advanced Practitioner, a Senior Social worker and 6 Social Workers. Families 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. 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. In our Duty service, case transfer points include the Initial Child Protection Case Conference, the first CLA review, the first PLO meeting, the 3rd CIN meeting.

The Duty service does not hold cases long term. Following your assessment and intervention period, the outcome of this will determine the best team for the family to step across to.
