Providing supervision, support and professional development to staff within your sub-team
Supporting the Team Manager with the RAG rating of referrals, allocations and authorising Social Workers' assessments
Working closely with MASH partner agencies to develop strong, professional and meaningful working relationships
Contributing to the ongoing development of the MASH service
Participating in Task Force Groups and service improvement initiatives
Providing professional leadership and guidance within a high-pressure safeguarding environment
What We're Looking For

You will ideally have:
Significant experience within children's social care and safeguarding
Strong experience of risk assessment and multi-agency working
Experience of Strategy Discussions/Meetings and safeguarding decision-making
The confidence to provide professional supervision and leadership
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
The ability to prioritise and manage a constantly changing workload
A strong understanding of safeguarding practice and statutory social work responsibilities
A proactive approach to service development and continuous improvement
To apply for this role, you will need to hold:
A minimum of 6 months' experience working in the UK as a registered Social Worker
A relevant Social Work Qualification
Current registration with Social Care Wales or Social Work England
Enhanced DBS, registered on the Update Service, or be happy to apply for a new DBS
