Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. It drives us. And it's the reason our Children's Services team push themselves to transform the lives of children and families – in person, in Hubs nationwide, and through the knowledge they share. Join us as Children's Services Practitioner level 3/Social Worker and make a contribution that means everything.
The successful candidate will be joining the North East, Yorkshire and Humber regional hub based at Leeds and working with a team of passionate and experienced practitioners and managers in delivering and evaluating a range of exciting and innovative services to children and their families. The portfolio of services provides the opportunity to work in a variety of areas of interest which includes both child and adult-facing work through one-to-one or groupwork delivery. They will be supported to deliver services both face-to-face and virtually.
The current service portfolio in the Leeds Hub includes:
* Pregnancy in Mind – a groupwork programme for expectant parents where either or both are experiencing mild to moderate depression and/or anxiety. This is offered by virtual model and reaches out to parents across the whole region.
* Domestic Abuse Recovering Together (DART) – a groupwork programme that helps mothers and children strengthen their relationship following domestic abuse. This is delivered both in our hub in Leeds and in local communities.
* Letting The Future In – a one-to-one therapeutic service for young people who have been sexually abused, and their supportive carer(s). This is delivered in the Leeds hub.
This is an exciting time for NSPCC, with staff at all levels engaging in a range of new projects and developments. As well as contributing in terms of direct work, there will be the opportunity to be involved in evaluation and work with our colleagues in Local Campaigns and Schools Service in Leeds and across the region as well as our media and income generation teams.
The role will require holding a manageable caseload and provide access to a range of training and development opportunities. Practitioners are supervised and supported by a Team Manager with knowledge and experience of practice, and they show a real commitment to enabling practitioners to achieve their full potential.
This post requires a qualification in social work as well as a passion for working with, and making a difference for, children and their families and a candidate who is open to learning, committed to working as part of a team and co-working with colleagues internally and externally. A practitioner with the ability to: plan and deliver appropriate programmes of work with individuals, families, and groups; be reflective in evaluating the effectiveness of their own practice; identify risk; have, and continue to ensure they have, up to date knowledge of legislation, research and best practice; and be able to produce an excellent standard of written work and assessments. The work of the team includes prevention and recovery work and requires experience of undertaking safeguarding and child protection work.
Join us and you'll become part of a team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with. You'll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that'll bring the best out in you. And you'll get to find your own way to make a difference that means more, and that impacts millions of young lives.
