Social Worker as an Advanced Prac required to work within the Children with Disabilities Team based in Gloucester in the picturesque county of Gloucestershire. This is an exciting opportunity with excellent rates of pay £43. 37 hours a week. 3 month contract but with the opportunity to extend. Flexible hybrid working arrangements. Accommodation and/or travel allowance available for those working away from home.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced social worker to join the Children with Disabilities Team in Gloucester, to deliver an effective social work service to children with disabilities and their families, informed by current research, legislation and departmental policy.
The teams undertake all of the work that traditionally involves a mainstream team. This involves assessing the need and identifying services that will enhance the life of the disabled child and their family. A large proportion of the work within CWD services is to identify need and provide services that minimise the effects of the disability so that the child can reach his/her full potential. By working in partnership with the child's family, we help enable the parents/carers to continue to meet the needs of their child while alleviating some of the stress that this will involve. Social workers attend various panels in order to advocate for our young people who require a Residential placement or who require a direct payment to help support their care.
This specialist team works countywide across Gloucestershire and provides all levels of support to some of our most complex children with disabilities (CIN, CP, CiC). We are looking for someone experienced in this area who has strong assessment, planning and direct work tools.
You will be Social Work England registered, ideally a driver with access to own car and able to reside and work in the UK.
As an Eden Brown Synergy candidate, you can take advantage of our competitive service offering: * Dedicated personal and professional service. * Free DBS check. * CV review service. * Interview advice. * Competitive rates of pay. * Post-placement follow up meetings.
