We are working with Wrexham Council to recruit an experienced Childrens Social Worker to join the team.
The role of the appointed Social Worker will be:
1. Manage an allocated caseload which includes routine social work interventions, escalating those that are more complex and require a higher level of professional input.
2. Work with individuals needing care and support, their families and carers to identify and assess risks, and identify support that minimizes risk, guided on practice through management supervision, co-working on more complex cases with an experienced Social Worker or independently in line with the Social Worker’s development, knowledge, and qualification.
3. Undertake assessments, develop and design care and support plans and other appropriate plans (e.g., Education plans), and recommend any identified need for external support/provision from appropriate providers, working within budgets, and in partnership with all services to ensure the best use of resources and necessary approvals are gained when required.
4. Adapt and apply Social Worker techniques to ensure the approach meets the needs of individuals needing care and support, their families, and carers, and work in partnership with others.
5. Promote positive outcomes by taking appropriate action in the provision of professional support, advice, and decisions to ensure all individuals referred have a plan based on an assessment of need, and that such plans are evidence-based, recorded, reviewed, and modified as appropriate.
6. Ensure practice and subsequent decisions safeguard the welfare of adults at risk and children at risk of immediate harm, making decisions in the best interest of the adult/child.
7. Post holders allocated to a Team which operates a duty system will be required to undertake duty on a rota basis, respond immediately and effectively to cases that arise, understanding the recording system to identify the case and those who may/may not be involved including other professionals, undertaking assessments and planning around immediate crisis responses to ensure a proportionate response to the situation while recognizing and managing potential risks.
