As a senior social worker within our Safeguarding and Family Support Service, you will:
1. Respond to urgent Priority 1 and 2 child protection referrals with the aim of keeping children and young people safe from the risk of significant harm.
2. Gather information, assess, and prioritise all decisions about the most appropriate response under S47 of the Children Act.
3. Carry out assessments on children and young people who have been sexually abused, as well as those who use sexually abusive behaviour.
4. Work to secure permanency within the family, either in the community or through court processes.
5. Help make the child's journey as smooth and safe as possible, whether that's through PLO, court, adoption, and post-adoption, and to prevent a 'cycle' of being in and out of care.
