About Us
Herefordshire Council Child Protection & Court Teams
The Child Protection & Courts teams are based in the centre of Hereford with good transport links. The staff are welcoming and keen to offer help and guidance to anyone new to the team.
There are 5 teams made up of a Team Manager, 1 Senior Practitioner, 6 Social Workers, and 4 family support workers. Working from the office at Plough Lane allows everyone to catch up, meet new staff, and ask questions, with flexibility for working at home.
We work alongside families to improve outcomes for their children, using a restorative approach evident in the team culture and senior management style, always available for discussions on complex matters to ensure the right outcomes for families.
Social Workers collaborate closely with the Council’s Legal Team to complete Court applications. This can be a learning experience, with plenty of support available. Court progression officers assist teams in meeting court timescales and identifying training needs to ensure staff feel equipped and supported.
You will be fully qualified (DipSW, CQSW, CSS or equivalent), with a minimum of 2 years experience in statutory social care. You should be confident in managing a complex caseload, with strong report writing skills and experience of giving oral evidence. You will be dedicated to improving the lives of children and families within Herefordshire.
Herefordshire is on a journey, and we would like you to be part of our next chapter. This is an exciting opportunity to impact the local authority and help improve and protect children and young people.
Herefordshire has a strong team ethos. Our teams are passionate about their work and the positive difference they make to people’s lives, supported by their managers and the council as a whole.
We aim to deliver better support to our most vulnerable children and their families and develop stronger relationships with partners across the region and beyond.
Come to Herefordshire and join the journey.
