Please be aware this is a Long Term Temporary post to start ASAP.
In Oldham, we have the highest aspirations to achieve the best outcomes for our children and families and to sustain them in their communities. We put their needs at the heart of everything we do, and we’re committed to providing our staff with the resources needed to work effectively with children and families, including reducing caseloads.
This has resulted in investment in more teams across a range of service areas, and we’re now looking for motivated and ambitious individuals who share our aspirations to join us.
Situated in the heart of Spindles, the bustling centre of Oldham, our new building stands as a beacon of support and guidance, where the Duty and Advice Team will be based, ready to assist and advise those in need.
You will work as part of a co-located multi-agency team, which includes representatives from Greater Manchester Police, Health, Community Safety, Adult Social Care, IDVA and the Prevention Hub. This co-location enables more effective communication between partner agencies. As a Duty and Advice social worker, you will be required to respond to contacts made to the MASH in a timely way to identify and secure the most appropriate service to support and safeguard children and families. You will communicate with families, partner agencies, and members of the public to gain details and enable strong evidence-based decision making in line with our practice standards and statutory duties.
