Our focus is to raise the profile of Children's Services at Northamptonshire and improve the quality of our services in court so that we can provide the very best outcomes for our children, families and carers.
Our social workers are supported by experienced Team Managers, Family Support Workers and Business Support Administrators. Our new Consultant Practitioner roles are dedicated to supporting and coaching social workers with complex cases and providing valuable coaching and training.
Children in Care have 11 teams in total based across the county. We currently have vacancies for senior social workers specialising in court work in Kettering and Northampton.
What will you be doing?
Our children in care service provides oversight for all children in care. This includes children subject to legal proceedings where their permanency plan is being determined as well as children with a plan to remain long term in 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.
We are truly passionate about what we do here, and we are looking for equally dedicated and passionate people who want to make a real contribution towards the services we deliver and improving those services for the future.
