Opus people solutions on behalf of Northampton Childrens Trust have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Social Worker to join their Children in Care Long Term Team.


Our Children in Care Team provides oversight for all the children in care in Northamptonshire. This includes children subject to legal proceedings as well as children with a plan to remain long term in our care. We focus on building meaningful relationships with young people, their families and their carers to ensure that we plan effectively for the future of every child. You'll be conducting clear, accurate assessments, coordinating multi-agency approaches, and building positive relationships.
This is a very fast paced and busy role that strives to deliver positive outcomes for our children and families in collaboration with our colleagues in the Leaving Care Service and our external partners.

As a Senior Social Worker, you will be carrying out interventions and direct work with children, young people and families and reviewing work undertaken. The role will also provide mentoring and work supporting colleagues, you will work towards a Practice Educator qualification.
We focus on children and young people who have a Care Plan to remain in our care on a long-term basis.

If you thrive to make a difference and have 2 years Social worker experience and this is the role for you, then we would love to hear from you.
