Advanced Practitioner – Permanence Team

About the role We have an exciting opportunity for an Advanced Social Work Practitioner to join the Permanence team, contributing to working collaboratively with families and supporting children who are looked after by the Local Authority with a Care Plan of adoption, to achieve permanence. Skilled Social Workers in this team keep children at the heart of all we do; building meaningful relationships with children and young people, their families, and carers, to ensure we plan proactively and effectively for the future of every child. What will you be doing? You will supervise Family Support Workers, offer case supervision and advice to Social Workers, as well as promoting the implementation of the Trust’s Practice Model and providing space for reflection. The Advanced Practitioner will also organise regular group supervisions with Social Workers and Family Support Workers focusing on specific issues where workers may be challenged, or specific themes and issues workers come across with. An Advanced Practitioner will hold a small, complex caseload that will include high-risk, high-need looked after children. This will involve collaborative working with the children and young people, their families, and partner agencies to achieve the best outcome possible. You will be based in Northampton but there will be a requirement to travel across the county and outside of the county where necessary to support our families effectively.
