As a Qualified Social Worker in our MASH Team, you will play a critical role in assessing and responding to referrals, ensuring that children are protected, supported, and given the best opportunity to thrive. This role involves effective intervention, risk assessment, and collaborative working with multi-agency partners to provide a safe and supportive environment for children and families.

For looked-after children, ensure their needs are met in line with their care or pathway plan, helping them make progress and fulfill their potential.
Child-Centered Practice: Place the child at the heart of assessment, planning, intervention, and review processes. Regularly seek and consider their views and wishes to understand their world and tailor interventions accordingly.
Professional Leadership and Collaboration: Lead effectively within a multi-agency framework, ensuring professionals work together to meet the needs of children in need, including those on a child protection plan, privately fostered children, looked-after children, and care leavers.
Working with Parents and Carers: Collaborate with parents and carers to strengthen protective factors, reduce risks, and promote safe and reasonable parenting. When cooperation isn’t forthcoming, pursue alternative arrangements to secure the child’s well-being.
