Assess needs, identify risks, and take appropriate safeguarding action where necessary.
Lead and contribute to care planning, case conferences and multi-agency meetings.
Deliver practical and emotional support that promotes development and independence.
Manage child protection cases, including preparing reports and giving evidence in court if required.
Ensure records, assessments and plans are completed accurately and on time.
Work collaboratively with partner agencies across health, education, and social care.
Champion equality, challenge discrimination, and advocate for service users.

Enhanced DBS required.
Strong working knowledge of:
Children Act 1989/2004
Social Services & Wellbeing Act (2014)
Mental Health & Capacity Acts

Child Protection & Adult Care procedures
Proven experience working with children and families, ideally within disability or transition services.
Excellent communication and organisational skills.
Confidence in managing complex caseloads, safeguarding work, and multi-agency collaboration.
Why Apply?
Competitive hourly rates.
Supportive, specialist team environment.
Opportunity to work across both children’s and adult social care — building valuable cross-sector experience.
Flexible, rewarding frontline practice with real impact on young people’s lives.
