As professionals within our service you will bring passion, be curious and committed to working collaboratively to safeguard children and young people to ensure they receive the right support at the right time. Our Offer to You We pay your Social Worker England Registration fee. 28 days annual leave, rising to 31 days after 5 years' service (plus bank holidays) Option to buy up to 10 days of additional annual leave.

About Working in C- SPA In C- SPA our Multi Agency Partnership (MAP) team is exactly that- a multiagency team responsible for the safeguarding of children within the Surrey area.

Our practice across the service is based upon strong relationships with families and with partners who may also support our families. Using motivational approaches as well as principles of the Family Safeguarding Model, you will engage with both the family and the network around them to understand the presenting worries and work out whether a statutory social work service is required. In some instances, a plan to support the family at a lower level of need will be put in place to meet the need of the child and family. About the Role Joining us as a Social Worker in C- SPA means that you will be there from the outset of a Childs contact and journey with us. This is an opportunity to be part of a culture in which children and families are supported in a spirit of partnership that encourages them to develop their own solutions while receiving the professional help and support, required to address their needs. The work of Social Workers in C- SPA can be rewarding but often complex in nature, gathering information and making enquiries as necessary to inform threshold decisions regarding the correct level of support required. We are looking for individuals with professional curiosity and well-developed analytical skills to support us in delivering laser focussed, collaborative and timely front door activity, which ensures child protection and safeguarding matters are effectively responded to.
