An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our front door team through a one year Social Worker secondment due to Maternity Leave. Through relationship-based practice we work together to ensure that children and their families get the andldquo;right service, first time, with no delayandrdquo;, whether this is by way of family support, early help or social care intervention you will play a pivotal role in applying your skills and knowledge to contribute to best outcomes for our children and families.
In March 2020 we formed the Childrenandrsquo;s Initial Advice Team to strengthen Darlingtonandrsquo;s Childrenandrsquo;s Front Door Service incorporating Professor David Thorpeand#39;s model and this has gone from strength to strength. As a Social Worker in CIAT you will work at the heart of a wider multi-agency front door, working alongside early help, police, health, education and other vital partners all working together to help keep children safe.
This role is non case holding and deals with incoming contacts from both professionals and public and requires a swift, dynamic thinker. Relational practice is a natural part of every aspect of practice and leadership and you will join a strong and committed team who work within an environment that provides the conditions for success that you will benefit from personally and that will help our children in Darlington thrive!
If you have excellent communication skills, you are someone who works positively and pro-actively with families and partner agencies and you are an experienced children and families Social Worker then this is an opportunity not to be missed. This role does require a minimum of 3 years post qualifying experience.
