AddressWe are currently looking for a Senior Social Worker for Gloucestershire Council's MASH Teams on a permanent basis.
They have vacancies at various localities, including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Stroud, Cotswolds and Forest of Dean.
As an experienced Social Worker you will manage a complex caseload working with children, young people and their families. Senior Social Workers also act as role models, supporting less experienced Social Workers and promoting best practice.
Senior Social Workers are able to apply critical and ethical understanding of legislation and statutory frameworks. They can design outcome-focused plans and interventions to ensure best outcomes for children, young people and their families.
Social workers will assess a family's needs and plan and implement suitable multi-agency interventions and service provisions. Social workers have the opportunity to progress to the Senior Social Worker role through completing a competency based progression test.
The MASH receive all new contacts when there is concern that a child could be at risk. The team will work with partners to determine the level of risk to the child and how we should respond to that risk. This information is then transferred to locality assessment teams who will carry out initial contact with families and assessments.
