Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) - Transforming Young Lives

Are you an experienced Social Worker who excels in supporting children and families within crisis? Join our MASH service in the Integrated Front Door (IFD) for a rewarding opportunity.

Experience a "seamless service" with a balanced work-life schedule, transitioning between day and night shifts. The role doesn't involve case-holding, as long-term work is delegated to our Support and Safeguarding Teams.

We achieved an ‘ Outstanding ’ rating from Ofsted in September 2023, with the IFD receiving positive inspection feedback. Our service offers a 24/7, 365-day response to concerns for children and young people. We consist of the Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH), Early Support Hub (ESH), and Out of Hours Service (OOH) located in County Hall, Trowbridge. We offer a single access point for all contacts and referrals aligning with statutory and local guidelines for child safety and wellbeing.

As a MASH Social Worker in the IFD team, your role involves remotely engaging with partners, family members, and young people to assess thresholds and recommend actions for Children's Social Care or Partners. You must efficiently identify and manage risks, and your commitment is crucial in creating positive, life-altering opportunities for children and young people in Wiltshire.

In addition to possessing the required Social Work qualifications and registration with Social Work England, we seek individuals who share our vision. In return, we will provide you with the comprehensive support and guidance you need to excel in your role and make a lasting difference.

Join our team for a fulfilling professional experience, working alongside experienced Social Workers in a stable and meaningful journey to transform the lives of children and young people in Wiltshire.
