Come and be part of our Outstanding Family Safeguarding Service.
It’s an exciting time to be a part of Children and Family Services at Leicestershire County Council. Our staff are at the heart of delivering excellent services to children and families across Leicestershire. Come and join us and make a difference in the lives of children and families in Leicestershire.
Our recent Ofsted inspection praised Leicestershire’s work to build “strong and long-lasting relationships” with children and families which lead to many families achieving “positive changes” in their lives.
About the Role
Our Family Safeguarding Service specialises in delivering high-quality Child Protection Services to children and families across Leicestershire. In this role, as an experienced social worker, you will focus on overseeing children subject to child protection plans, alongside pre-proceedings and care proceedings, and therefore experience in this area is essential.
We have a fantastic package to provide our workers, including the option as a full-time worker to do a 9-day working fortnight, hybrid working, and fantastic learning and training opportunities. We celebrate diversity with a range of events throughout the year and recognize our staff in annual Pride In Practice events, along with committed wellbeing support.
We are proud of our continuous improvement plan, which sets out our key values, behaviours and ambitions. We have embedded the Signs of Safety approach throughout our services, which mirrors our values of Aspiration, Being Curious, and Collaboration. We are focused on working with families and the networks of family, friends, and professionals around children to achieve shared goals.
We will strive to create a safe, compassionate, healing environment demonstrated through relationships based on trust, respect, hope, and empathy. We will achieve this through a spirit of curiosity, by nurturing connections through relationships and making a deliberate effort to know and understand people.
