Our client Trafford council is looking for a Children's Social Worker to join their Support & Protection team. Here in Trafford Children's Services our vision is that our teams are offering the right help at the right time, and that at all levels our interventions make life better for children and families. We are ambitious for our children and for our practitioners - and our core value is 'would this be good enough for my child'? We want to have practitioners and managers who are confident and brave in their practice and are supported by strong leaders at all levels. As a relatively small local authority, we pride ourselves on our friendly teams, manageable caseloads, creative approach and colleagues who support each other. We were pleased to see this recognised in the Ofsted report that followed our ILACS inspection in late 2022, which highlighted that "social workers in Trafford are overwhelmingly positive about both the local authority and the support they receive." In Trafford our approach is strengths-based, using relational and restorative practice. Our recent Ofsted report referred to our "relational model of social work practice, which is well regarded by the wider workforce, has been successfully implemented." We have developed our Support and Protect Service to support children and families who need longer term support and achieving permanence this might be through Child Protection Planning or if required in the Court arena. We are looking for an advanced practitioner who is passionate about making a difference for children and can work creatively to ensure the best outcomes and support children to stay within the family wherever it is safe to do so. We have already worked closely with our multi agency partners and have started to further build on this in line with the current reforms. Our teams work well together to ensure the safety of children and are supported to do this by experienced and passionate team managers.
