Childrens Social Worker Role in the Emergency Duty Team
The Trafford Emergency Duty Team is looking for enthusiastic candidates to join the team on a 3-month basis. All successful candidates will join the supportive team to assist in delivering Trafford's statutory responsibilities outside of normal working hours, receiving regular supervision and support from the EDT Management Team and on-call arrangements.
This opportunity is suitable for experienced Social Workers who have the skillset and confidence to work with families during times in which day services are closed. This role includes providing emergency safeguarding advice, assessment, and at times intervention to key partners and families relating to children's safeguarding. While on duty, you will be responding to and managing any emergency issues arising for children and families who may or may not be already known to services. The successful candidate will need to have experience in recognizing the need for strategy meetings and undertaking s47 inquiries. There may be situations while on duty that require escalation to a manager for a decision, such as bringing a child or young person into care. There is always access to a Childrens Social Care Manager via an on-call rota to support decision-making when matters are escalating.
The role will be based at home; however, travel and in-person responses will be required within Trafford and neighboring hospitals, outside of the Trafford area. On-call management arrangements will be in place to support staff and ensure management oversight and approvals are given outside of working hours.
Essential Requirements:
1. Social Work Qualification - Degree or equivalent
