We have an exciting opportunity for an Advanced Practitioner to join the Social Care Screening Team.
Children Social Work in Lincolnshire
This is an exciting opportunity to have real input into the efficient and effective delivery of social care in a nationally leading local authority. Our Children's Services is rated by Ofsted as Outstanding. This is an incredible achievement and something we are extremely proud of as it reflects the quality of social work practice in Lincolnshire.
Our practice model is “Signs of Safety” and this is underpinned by a firm commitment to restorative practice, working in a way where the strengths of the family and their network are honoured and families are supported to develop their own solutions. Most importantly, we believe the voice of the child should be at the very heart of every plan.
About the role of an Advanced Practitioner in the Social Care Screening Team
We are a dedicated team of experienced social workers working together to make decisions at the front door and determine the right level of support required for a child or family when concerns arise about their safety or well-being. We work closely with our Social Care and Early Help colleagues and partner agencies screening contacts about children and young people as well as holding consultations to advise and guide partner agencies about the right support required for an individual child and their family. As such, this is a non-case holding role.
We believe that supporting emotional resilience is always important, but particularly so when you are working with families experiencing complex and challenging circumstances. We will provide you with strong peer support, regular formal and informal supervision, group learning and team meetings. You will be further supported in your work through our excellent internal and external training learning offer including complimentary access to the Research in Practice, access to emotional wellbeing support/counselling.
