WHAT IS INVOLVED?
You will support our children by supervising family time for them and their family members, ensuring their emotional and physical safety. You will support our Social Workers by completing life story work with our children to enable them to understand their life journey into our care. And you will help assist our Social Workers by completing SDQs (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires) with our children and their caregivers to review our childrens emotional and mental health needs, as well as recording our childrens dental dates to support our childrens health reviews.

We encourage you to contact Daniel Hay via email at [email protected] to arrange an informal discussion about the role.

WHAT DO OFSTED SAY ABOUT US?
You will be joining us at a fantastic time. Inspectors have just judged our Childrens Services as outstanding. You can read the full report here

HOW WILL I BE SUPPORTED?
We are passionate about social work in County Durham. We are committed to providing a culture where good practice can flourish. We ensure our social workers are highly supported and encourage flexible working to achieve a good work-life balance.

Experience in supporting children and having supervised family time.
It is essential that you are able to drive and have a car, and have business insurance to be able to transport our children in your car.

OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFEGUARDING
Durham County Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all employees and volunteers to share this commitment. This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore if successful in your application, an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check will be sought inclusive of a check of the Childrens Barred List and Adults Barred List.

Applicants should be aware that the DBS check will disclose both spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings, in line with current legislation and will confirm whether an individual is barred from working with children, adults, or both.

We operate a guaranteed interview scheme for applicants that can show they meet all the essential criteria and have indicated they have a disability, are a looked after young person, care leaver or a veteran.

We offer a competitive rewards package that includes attractive salaries, a generous annual leave entitlement of 27 days (rising to 32 after five years continuous local government service), membership of the excellent contributory career average Local Government Pension Scheme, and a range of flexible working arrangements including hybrid working (home and office) where applicable.
