Social Worker

We have an exciting opportunity for a full-time Social Worker to join Southampton City Council in the Specialist Assessment and Family Drug and Alcohol Court Team.

About the team:

The Specialist Assessment and Family Drug and Alcohol Court Team is a highly skilled, multi-disciplinary team made up of experienced assessing social workers and family practitioners. The team provides specialist assessments and targeted interventions across Children’s Services, as well as leading Southampton’s Family Drug and Alcohol Court service. Our practice is rooted in trauma-informed, relationship-based and systemic approaches, to support our understanding of complex family histories, patterns of risk and the impact of adversity, while also identifying strengths, capacity for change and opportunities for safe family-led solutions.

The team holds some of the most complex assessment work within the service, including care proceedings, complex Public Law Outline assessments, ParentAssess reports, adult sexual risk assessments and work with families where substance misuse, learning needs, mental health or trauma are significant factors ensuring the children and families that we work with benefit from analytical, evidence-informed and proportionate assessments that support timely and robust care planning.

About the role:

We are looking for a Social Worker with a minimum of two years post-qualifying experience, strong assessment skills and a proven background in court work. You will complete high-quality specialist assessments and contribute to care planning for children and families where needs and risks are complex.

You will work alongside skilled family practitioners who provide targeted intervention as part of the assessment process, helping families to access practical learning opportunities and evidence change. The team’s intervention offer includes complex Resolutions Approach family work, pre-birth and post-birth support, Non-Violent Resistance work and emotional coping skills intervention.

Southampton’s Family Drug and Alcohol Court service also sits within the team and provides an intensive, problem-solving approach for families where substance use is a central factor in care proceedings. The service supports parents to address their substance use, improve family functioning and work towards safe reunification where this is achievable, offering a specialist alternative to standard care proceedings for families with entrenched difficulties. As such, we are looking for a Social Worker who is also skilled in working directly with adult effected by substance use difficulties.
