Childrens Social Worker

Every family has a story, and sometimes they need the right support at the right time to help them move forward.

We're looking for an experienced Social Worker to join our Family Support & Safeguarding Team across Cambridgeshire.

This role offers the opportunity to work alongside children, young people and their families during some of the most challenging periods of their lives, helping them access the support they need while ensuring children remain protected and heard.

You'll become part of a service that values professional curiosity, relationship-based practice and collaborative decision-making. Rather than simply managing cases, you'll have the opportunity to build trust with families, understand their circumstances and help shape plans that create lasting improvements.

What You'll Be Doing

No two days are the same in this role. You'll be responsible for:

• Working directly with children and families to understand their circumstances, strengths and support needs
• Developing practical plans with families that focus on improving safety, stability and wellbeing
• Undertake Child and Family Assessments, section 47 enquires and statutory duties in line with safeguarding procedures.
• Working in partnership with schools, health services, police and community organisations to coordinate support
• Identifying risks and taking appropriate action where intervention is required
• Contributing to meetings, conferences and court processes when needed
• Keeping detailed and accurate records to support effective decision-making
• Using supervision and reflective practice to continually develop your knowledge and skills
