The job itself
The job itself A great and exciting opportunity has arisen for a part-time Advanced Social Work Practitioner to lead on our Step-Parent and Private Fostering activity across our practice system. The role will specifically complete Step-Parent adoption assessments and represent the local authority within the court arena, as necessary. The role will also complete private fostering assessments and remain the allocated social worker for any child who is deemed to be privately fostered to ensure that the local authority’s statutory responsibilities are fulfilled. Additionally, the role will have an active part in promoting private fostering within our wider community to raise awareness of the statutory responsibilities placed upon the local authority for children potentially deemed in private fostering households. We are looking for a practitioner with a passion for strength-based approaches and forming a relational-based approach to securing good outcomes through supporting children, young people, and their networks. We are looking to develop and build upon your experience of working with children and young people in an exciting role that is central to the development of a culture of driving up practice and improving the lived experience for those children and young people we work with. This is a specialist role in a large and extremely ambitious service, working across multiple portfolios, complexities, and with various users and partners. Our model ‘You can, I can, We can’ We have created a bespoke practice model that reflects and connects our vision, our value base, and our behavior as one East Riding of Yorkshire approach to working with children, young people, and their families, which is nurtured and grown from within East Riding of Yorkshire CYPSSS and owned by our workforce. We remain committed to Signs of Safety as a practice framework, but this will be set within a much wider, values-based model of practice that clearly connects Signs of Safety with the East Riding value base and our overall approach to making and sustaining relationships with children, families, and communities. Without a well-embedded model, there is nothing to center our practice on to ensure that, while the work may be different, all our teams are grounded in the same values, beliefs, theories, and approaches. Having a well-developed practice model helps to create a common language for the service and enables everyone to understand how we go about doing the right things, in the right way, and for the right reasons for children and their families. The right candidate You will contribute to the Quality of Practice agenda within the Directorate to help embed and promote a culture that leads to high-quality and impact-focused outcomes for children, young people, and their families in East Riding of Yorkshire. You will have experience of completing assessments and representing the local authority within the court arena. You will demonstrate good experience of front-line practice within a children’s practice system with an ability to identify what good practice looks like. You will have advanced working knowledge of the childcare legislative framework, strength-based and restorative-based approaches, as well as relational-based practice. You will have great attention to detail and the ability to interrogate and analyze complex information with good accuracy, including an ability to critically evaluate children and young people’s lived experience so that support can be provided to ensure interventions are outcome- and impact-focused. You will need to hold a relevant social work qualification and be registered with Social Work England, along with experience of working within a statutory setting and a demonstrable commitment to your own professional development. We are a small team, and positive relationships are valued. You will also be working with the teams across our service; therefore, it is essential that the post holder is able to work effectively with others with a flexible and adaptable approach in a relational-based manner. You will be able to demonstrate a high level of motivation and the ability to work independently, with skills in working within timescales and managing conflicting priorities. As this is a part-time role, specific days will be agreed between the successful applicant and the service. If you meet all of these qualities, have the right value base, and are an innovative leader, then what are you waiting for? Apply now and make a difference.
