Liquid Personnel is currently recruiting for a Social Worker to join the Children in Need (CIN) Service as an Enhanced Practitioner. This role involves conducting procedurally compliant assessments and section 47 enquiries to identify levels and types of risk or need based on documented evidence. The practitioner will record and analyse information gathered during social care assessments in line with case recording policies, local and national guidance, and best practice principles. Additionally, they will create clear plans addressing the issues identified for children in Doncaster, ensuring these plans are informed by a thorough understanding of legislative principles, current research, emerging case law, and best practice guidance. Engagement with children, their carers, and families is a crucial aspect of this role. The Enhanced Practitioner will work to understand their circumstances, wishes, and feelings, forming conclusions that direct longer-term interventions focused on the child’s best interests. They will also be involved in taking and recording children’s contacts and referrals, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the issues being referred, the urgency, the level of risk or need, and the necessary actions in individual cases. The role includes assisting in the provision of court statements and preparing reports required by courts and other bodies in connection with children’s services.
