About the job
Salary: £40,221 - £43,421 a year plus £5,500 market supplement and £963 essential car user allowance (subject to criteria)

Contract type: Permanent

Our CWD Specialist Intervention Team is a newly formed team working with children and young people with Mental ill health/emotional wellbeing issues and a diagnosis of learning difficulties such as Autism /ADHD or associated behaviours. The team carry small caseloads and work intensively with families and other professionals - especially colleagues in CAMH. We are passionate, innovative and creative in our approach.

Often these young people have disengaged with education and we work very closely with colleagues in education to ensure that they have an EHCP if needed - and the right educational placement for them.

As a Senior Practitioner within our Specialist Intervention team, you'll be responsible for a caseload of complex cases providing assessment, care management and other social work services relevant to the needs of the most vulnerable/ at risk children and families.

Under the direction of the Team Manager, you'll use professional skills and experience to provide practice management to team members.

If you have a good working knowledge of young people with autism, mental health and want the opportunity to make a real difference to young people's lives, then please get in touch!

Please note this role does not attract sponsorship.
About you
We are looking for an experienced Senior Practitioner with the ability to coach and mentor others.

You'll be a strong and effective communicator, both verbally and in written correspondence, with the ability to deal with a wide range of service users, including children and other professionals.

This is a rewarding role where you'll have the opportunity to develop your existing knowledge and understanding of child development and issues of family dynamics.

You'll be able to practice manage cases in line with national quality standards and best practice.

We do ask that you have Dip SW, CQSW, or a recognised equivalent professional qualification.

We're a small borough with a real family feel. So when you join us, we'll really look after you. You'll only take on a manageable number of cases, have plenty of flexible working options and access to development opportunities. So, if you're passionate about doing remarkable work for our children, please apply!
