Qualified Senior Social Worker, Families First Team, Trafford Council
Pay rate to £35 per hour
Vitalis are recruiting for an experienced Senior Social Worker to work in a Families First Team in Trafford Council.

You will be working in our Child in Need Service where you will work on a locality basis with children and families that require a social work assessment. We have developed a specialised service in this area of work to allow us to strengthen our assessment and planning for children in need and their families, raising the status of children in need and ensuring a consistent approach across the borough.
Teams complete duty on a rota basis and social workers will have a varied workload including undertaking section 47 enquiries, completing child and family assessments and holding a manageable case load of children who are supported through child in need planning.
It is also important that workers in this service are able to build relational partnerships that strengthen our work and enable the step down of plans where it is safe to do so and in the families’ timescales.
As an Advanced Practitioner you will coach, support and supervise designated staff or students and support their professional development.

Don’t forget, if this role isn’t the perfect fit, we’re confident we can find one that is. We recruit across a wide range of public sector specialisms, including:
Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO)

  • Best Interest Assessor (BIA)

  • Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH)

  • Looked After Children (LAC)

  • Children’s Social Work

  • Adult Social Work

  • Service Manager

  • Head of Service

  • Team Manager

  • Assistant Team Manager

  • A wide range of housing roles

  • Careers in SEND in local authorities
