Social Worker – One to One Support – Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council

Location: Dudley
Pay/Salary: up to £41 per hour
Office Working: 2-3 Days per week
Contract: Locum

We are currently working with Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council to find an experienced Social Worker for their Child Protection team in Children’s Services. 

This is not a typical social work post. This role is dedicated to one young person whose experiences of trauma, loss and instability have a significant impact on her daily experience. The young person is currently living in an unregistered provision, requiring daily welfare visits, intensive relationship-based practice, and robust multi-agency oversight while a suitable regulated placement is identified.

We are looking for someone who sees beyond behaviours, remains curious, is tenacious, and understands that meaningful change is built through consistency, resilience, and trust.

Duties

• Undertake daily visits and direct work with the young person.
• Develop and maintain a trusted, therapeutic relationship.
• Lead and contribute to multi-disciplinary planning meetings involving education, health, CAMHS, police and placement providers.
• Coordinate effective risk management and safety planning.
• Drive forward care planning and permanence planning arrangements.
• Advocate relentlessly to secure an appropriate regulated placement that can meet the young person's complex needs.
• Provide detailed analytical assessments and reports to support decision making.
• Work collaboratively with the young person's family and wider support network where appropriate.
• Maintain oversight of the young person's emotional wellbeing, education, health, and development.

What you need

• Social Work Qualification
• Social Work England registration
• Enhanced DBS (provided by us)
