Social Workers

greatsocialcare.co.uk — 2010-02-08T09:33+00:00

All our children, young people and families deserve a service based upon their needs – and you’ll use assessment to determine those, planning effective interventions through group work, one to ones and referrals to external agencies. You’ll also write pre-sentence reports, and represent the team in court – assessing of young people in custody, presenting information to court officials and supporting families in that setting. You’ll look after young people on Bail Supervision and Support – enforcing interventions if needed – and act as Appropriate Adult at police stations. You’ll be a gatekeeper for team reports – carrying out dip sampling – and through this promote the best professional practice possible, as well as the most appropriate use of resources and services.

You must hold a recognised Social Work qualification, combined with knowledge of the surrounding legislative framework. You’ll enjoy working with young people and their families – and understand their needs and perspectives, using this to change behaviour and promote development. You’re motivational, a strong communicator, an effective teamworker and a confident assessor – and you’ll bring creativity to service planning and partnership working. Quality is your fundamental watchword.

You’ll also play your part in making sure we meet all our statutory responsibilities – promoting and safeguarding the welfare and inclusion of young people every step of the way. More specifically, you’ll set up a system of Referral Order Panels – supporting the recruitment process for panel members – and liaise with Victim Support to ensure service levels are the best possible– promoting this restorative way of working with first time offenders to criminal justice agencies, the media and other stakeholders. You’ll also co-ordinate our Appropriate Adult Service.

We think holistic approaches work best in this area – your experience working with children, young people and their families will show you believe this too. You must work effectively – and creatively – with senior colleagues, and respond well in a rapidly changing environment. You’ll understand budgets and how to control costs – and you’ll analyse data effectively. It’s also important you’re well versed in assessing need and identifying risk, and in presenting information, sometimes in court. The very best in motivational, interpersonal, communication, planning and supervising go without saying – and you’ll have bang up to date knowledge of legislation, current issues and risk management processes..

It’s a big remit – and its importance to the future of Havering’s young people can’t be overestimated. That’s why you must offer experience working with children and young people who offend, and their families, an extensive understanding of legislation and current practice issues, a professional social work qualification and development accreditation. Your passion for successful outcomes for victims and young people must match ours – and you’ll combine this with a practical focus on budgets, managing change, analysing information and developing the service.
