Please be aware this is a Long Term Temporary post to start ASAP.
The duty service consists of 5 duty teams, and you will be on duty one week in five with the support of a Team Manager, Advanced Practitioner, and a Senior Social Worker. Families we work with in duty require our expert assessment and intervention skills. The nature of the work within the duty service can be described as fast-paced. You will work on one of the 5 duty teams, only going on duty 1 in every 5 weeks. The duty teams in Wigan hold cases of varying complexity, and in our duty service, case transfer points include the initial child protection case conference, the first CLA review, the first PLO meeting, and the 3rd CIN meeting.
You will need to think quickly and creatively to overcome the complex challenges and issues you may face. Good interpersonal and caring skills will help you support and meet the needs of children, young people, and their families. Being motivated to empower children and families is essential to assist them in reaching and achieving their own solutions and to help them make long-term sustainable family plans.
Having strong analytical skills is key to analyzing risks, assessing, and interpreting information or situations to solve difficult problems or to develop solutions and plans.
