Your new role
As a Senior Social Worker, you will work with disabled children and their families, assessing their needs for social care services and providing support to those identified as Children in Need, those subject to Child Protection plans, involved in Care Proceedings, or those who are Children We Care For and Leaving Care. You will manage a diverse caseload and work collaboratively with multi-agency partners to ensure the best outcomes for children.
