Our client Northamptonshire's Children's trust is looking for a Qualified social worker to join their Duty and assessment team.

General Overview:

Duty and assessment team is the frontline, single point of contact for all incoming safeguarding concerns relating to young people within the catchment area. Reports will initially come into the MASH service, and then be passed on to DAAT. This sector consists of 6 teams of approximately 8-10 staff each, with every team consisting of a Team Manager, Advanced Practitioner, Social Workers, Newly Qualified Social Workers, and Family Support Workers.

As far as service expectations go, CIN cases are expected to be visited within 5 days, whereas CP cases are expected to be visited within 24 hours, or same day if possible, and the service moves at pace to ensure every child is seen promptly.

DAAT is a countywide service, covering all areas of Northamptonshire. This may sound daunting to potential candidates, however the team hopes to support candidates long term to have their 'allocatedarea' to work in, meaning they will only cover cases within a given geographical area (e.g. - Daventry/Northampton Central/Corby)
