Who we are & what we stand for

Do you want to help make Gateshead a place where everyone thrives? If that sounds like you, keep reading - we might be the perfect match.

We’re delighted that you’re interested in working with us. You’d be joining us at a very exciting time.

We pride ourselves on our ambitious and forward-thinking approach to taking care of Gateshead and its people, and we passionately believe that our employees reflect that spirit in truly enabling Gateshead to thrive.

At Gateshead Council you’d be a highly valued member of a team that recognises and respects the skills that you bring to your role, encourages creativity and passionately advocates a great work / life balance. Our actions speak louder than words, and with flexi-time and hybrid working available across many of our roles, as well as a full suite of outstanding employee benefits, we’re confident that it isn’t just the salary that attracts our staff.

Our Children’s Social Care team work to provide and further develop services to children and families across Gateshead to offer a focused and joined up approach to offer young people the best possible start in life. This is incredibly important work and includes an excellent early help and prevention service, assessment, intervention and safeguarding supporting children and their families, services for children in and having experienced our care, our fostering, residential and adoption services, support for vulnerable adolescents & those with disabilities and many more. It can be challenging but very rewarding work, as we passionately pursue our goal of helping Gateshead children to thrive.

Keeping children connected to family, culture and belonging.

We are an Ofsted “Good” rated local authority and in a recent Focussed Visit in September 2021, inspectors told us:

“Gateshead's highly skilled, committed and caring social workers and their managers in the front door teams provide sensitive, innovative child-centered help and protection to most children seen during the visit. Continuously strong, ambitious and effective senior leadership has resulted in sustained improvements.

Closely aligned, mature professional partnerships work together effectively to safeguard children from harm.

There is consistent and commendable evidence of continuous innovation and improvement during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. Senior leaders are fittingly proud of their staff's commitment and determination throughout this period to see vulnerable children and their families face to face.

Staff report that they feel valued in their work and professional development and that their personal well-being is prioritised.”

Supporting families, strengthening connections, changing lives.

We have an exciting opportunity to recruit a Consultant Social Worker to our Children in our award winning Kinship Team to support children to have stability and permanence with their extended family members or friends. We are driven to achieve the best outcomes for children and young people through the completion of high quality assessments and comprehensive support packages for our kinship carers, who are highly valued and well respected. We are looking for someone who is passionate about their work and has a real understanding of the needs of Kinship Carers and their children. We are looking for someone who can make sensible decisions in line with regulations and best practice, someone who is curious and knowledgeable about safeguarding and good care, and who is committed to helping children and families/friends to stay together.

Every child deserves the chance to grow up within their family network.

What you'll get to do:

Lead and manage a complex caseload within our Kinship team, delivering purposeful, highquality assessments and interventions.
Support and influence social work practice through assisting with supervision, decision making and professional development of practitioners.
Develop, implement and review evidence-based care plans and pathway plans that promote the best interests of children and young people.
Ensure children, young people and their families are fully involved in assessment, planning and review processes, with their views reflected in all decision making.
Champion the education, health, safety and wellbeing of children and young people, helping them achieve their aspirations and reach their full potential.
Deliver purposeful interventions that reduce risk, strengthen resilience and create sustainable positive change.
Build and maintain effective multi-agency partnerships across Children's Social Care, schools, family hubs, health services and specialist support services.
Support quality assurance and performance improvement activities, ensuring recording, reporting and practice standards are timely, accurate and compliant.
Work within delegated authority, escalating recommendations and decisions where appropriate.
Contribute to service development, continuous improvement activities and the promotion of best practice across the service.
Maintain professional registration, participate in supervision and appraisal processes, and undertake ongoing learning and development.

What you’ll bring:

A recognised Social Work qualification, Social Work England registration, and the ability to travel effectively across the borough.
Significant experience within a statutory children and families social care setting, working confidently within relevant legislation, policy and professional frameworks.
Strong knowledge of children's legislation, safeguarding, child development, corporate parenting responsibilities and current social work practice.
Proven ability to undertake complex assessments, analyse risk, develop effective plans and deliver interventions that achieve positive outcomes for children and families.
Experience of supervising, supporting and developing practitioners, students or colleagues, alongside contributing to performance management and quality improvement.
Excellent communication, relationship-building and partnership-working skills, with the ability to engage positively with children, families and professionals while promoting equality, diversity and inclusion.
Strong analytical, digital and organisational skills, with the ability to maintain accurate case records, produce high-quality reports and keep the child's voice at the centre of practice.

If successful you will have to apply for an enhanced Disclosure.
