Contract role
Vitalis are recruiting for a Social Work Assistant to work in a team in Birmingham City Council.
We currently have 5 Senior Social Work Assistant vacancies within our HUB 2 Children in Care services. Working in Birmingham means you will have the benefit of two office bases in the North and South of the city Lifford House and One Avenue Road which are purpose-built offices that have been newly refurbished, and which offer designated parking spaces.
You will be joining a team of dedicated social workers and managers who are very committed to their roles but who are also very warm and welcoming to newly appointed staff.
The Role
You will play a key part in assisting our social workers to support our Children in Care alongside those children and families who are subject to live care proceedings.
You will assist with the completion of statutory assessments, supervise family time and advise children and their families about help and support that is available to them.
You will obtain and record all relevant information, taking appropriate action where necessary; as well as providing practical day-to-day support; which may take the form of home visits and direct work within the family home or community.
About You
Do you have experience in working with vulnerable children, young people and their families in a support/advisory role and be knowledgeable in safeguarding and Children’s services processes and legislation?
You should be confident in using a range of computer software and have good communication skills which you are able to adapt based on your audience. A flexible approach to your workload is essential, as you will work with your local and wider teams; and as key links in partnership working with professional agencies to achieve improved outcomes.
Are you confident to work autonomously, highly motivated, task centred and a good team player? Do you have a child focused approach to your work and prepared to fully support our children and their families/carers consistently with the ability to build positive relationships, over sometimes a long period, dedicated to improving their lives?
