Senior Social Worker; Assessment Team

Location

North Powys

The Assessment Team takes all new referrals into the service and we complete Child Protection Enquiries where there is a risk of significant harm and Care and Wellbeing Assessments where care and support needs may be identified. The work in the team is fast‑paced and short‑term and if longer‑term involvement is identified we transfer to the relevant team / service. Although the social work in the team is time‑limited, we prioritise building positive relationships with families based on principles of collaboration and partnership working.

Our work is strengths based and restorative approaches such as Signs of Safety are consistently used.

This is an opportunity to further develop your skills and experience and to expand the role and take on new responsibilities as an already qualified social worker.

As a Senior Social Worker, you will be supported to offer peer support and guidance to NQSWs and new staff in the team, opportunities to co‑work and you’ll have opportunity to be involved in the development of student social workers. You will contribute to team development and best practice. The role will enable you to develop specialisms/lead on areas such as CE and missing from home.

You will carry a caseload of children with complex needs. You will join a supportive and nurturing team and can expect strong supportive management and guidance. You will receive mentoring and support in the new role.
