We are looking to recruit experienced Social Workers to support us on our improvement journey.
Do you have a passion to make a difference to the lives of children?
Are you looking for somewhere where you can make as much of a difference to the life chances of children and young people as possible?
A place where you are always looking forward? Where there’s a big focus on continuous learning and career progression?
The DAT team are the team who work directly with children and families and partner agencies to ensure the needs of children and young people are responded to timely. DAT identifies and assesses levels of risk and need, and delivers protective or supportive services for children at risk, in need of support and or looked after. If the child/young person requires longer term support they are allocated to a social worker in our Child in Need team.
We have a strong vision for social work practice in Halton and are currently embedding a relationship based practice model that has systemic practice at its core. We’re on a journey for excellence and we’ve made it our mission to ensure that children and young people get the best service from us, so they are able to thrive and achieve.
We are committed to supporting our Social Workers and Managers to achieve their aspirations too. Working with us, you will have real opportunities to progress your career through training and development as an advanced practitioner, or future leader.
We have a stable and experienced Senior Leadership Team, who lead from the front. The Head of Service, Service Manager and Team Manager are well established staff members in Halton, who are supportive and nurturing.
You will receive bespoke support from the Social Work Academy who are integral in supporting this team in our improvement journey, providing advice, guidance and support to colleagues in this service area.
We offer an extensive benefits package as well as an attractive financial package with a range of other benefits, including a generous leave allowance (up to 34 days), a flexible working week, free parking, car allowance, car lease scheme, health and wellbeing initiatives and discount scheme. We are within easy commutable distance of Greater Manchester, Cheshire, and Merseyside regions.
Halton is a thriving and vibrant Borough where people can learn and develop their skills; enjoy a good quality of life with good health; a high quality, modern urban environment; the opportunity for all to fulfil their potential; greater wealth and quality, sustained by a thriving business community; and safer, stronger and more attractive neighbourhoods.
