Due to further expansion in the Kinship & Permanence team, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Social Work Practitioner to join our friendly and dynamic Kinship & Permanence team. The role focusses on supporting kinship carers to become Special Guardians to achieve permanence for their kinship children through comprehensive and evidenced based assessments and robust support planning and reviewing.

A proven ability to develop and maintain collaborative working relationships through excellent communication will support a successful application.

To ensure that we consistently meet the needs of our kinship carers, the children in their care and their families, an important part of your role will be to have oversight of the day to day operational tasks ensuring we are meeting our compliance and legal timescales, working with the Team Manager to contribute to the development of the service.

We are committed to promoting the health, safety, and wellbeing of our employees, and provide you access to a free Employee Assistance Programme which includes a confidential 24/7 counselling line and support specialists.
As a valued member of staff, you will have access to a generous pension scheme and exclusive discounts and rewards.
A monthly Health and Wellbeing newsletter with various initiatives and strategies to raise awareness and encourage a healthy workplace for you and your team.

The Kinship and Permanence Team is co-located with the General Fostering and Placements Team, Care Experienced Children and 15+ teams to enable effective collaborative working, based in the Civic Offices. We are a team of 16.5 staff comprising of Team manager, Deputy Team Manager, Senior Practitioner, Supervising Social Workers, Reunification Support Workers, a Social Work Assistant, as well as having dedicated Business Support staff. We are a forward thinking, creative, supportive, and friendly team who are passionate about kinship care, if you share our passion we would love to hear from you and you can expect a warm welcome when you join us.

If you are interested in this role and have any questions, or wish to speak to or meet the team, please contact Amanda Fraser, Team Manager on 01656 642294 or email [email protected].
