Looking to take your social work career to the next level in the heart of London?

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Children & Families Social Worker for a locum role in Central London. Join a dynamic team committed to supporting children and families, with a focus on safeguarding and promoting positive outcomes.

The Role:

As a Locum Social Worker in the Children & Families team, you will:

• Carry out comprehensive assessments of children and families to identify needs, risks, and strengths.
• Develop and implement tailored care plans to achieve positive outcomes.
• Work collaboratively with families, schools, healthcare providers, and partner agencies to ensure holistic support.
• Conduct home visits, attend court proceedings, and represent the local authority in multi-agency meetings.
• Manage a diverse caseload, balancing competing demands with professionalism and efficiency.

Why Work With Us?

• Central Location: Be part of a thriving and fast-paced borough in the heart of London.
• Flexible Contracts: Enjoy the freedom and variety of locum work tailored to your schedule.
• Competitive Pay: Earn top rates for your skills and expertise.
• Professional Growth: Build your experience in a high-profile role within a supportive environment.
• Team Culture: Work alongside a collaborative and dedicated team of professionals.

About You:

• Qualified Social Worker with current Social Work England registration.
• Experience in safeguarding, assessments, and care planning within Children & Families teams.
• Sound knowledge of relevant legislation, including the Children Act 1989 and Working Together to Safeguard Children.
• Strong interpersonal, analytical, and decision-making skills.
• Resilient and adaptable, with the ability to thrive in a challenging environment.

With flexible working hours, you can space out the casework and have more ability to spend time with your family and loved ones. You can juggle cases in a more streamlined and efficient manner to produce high-quality work and conduct procedures in a less chaotic style.   

If the role is not for you, but perhaps a friend or colleague looking for a change, we are offering market leading referral fee of £500 per placement - all you have to do is reach out!

As this is a statutory role you are required to have a Social Work qualification and full registration to SWE.
