Our Client Westminster Council is looking for an Independent Reviewing Officer to join their Team.
The Independent Reviewing Officer role has two clear and distinct functions: completing high-quality statutory reviews for Westminster's Looked After population of children and young people, as well as monitoring the child's case on an ongoing basis. The post-holder will provide an effective care planning and review service through the independent monitoring of the Local Authority's care plans for all individual LAC children and young people.
The role of the IRO is a specialist post that stands alone within the Local Authority. It involves challenging senior managers and seeking legal remedies for any failure of the local authority in their responsibility towards looked after children.
The IRO has a duty to monitor the performance of the local authority's function as a corporate parent and to identify any areas of poor practice, either individually or collectively, ensuring that any concerns are alerted to senior managers. Equally important, the IRO should recognize and report on good practice.
The Independent Reviewing Officer supports the Service Manager in providing leadership for their service, assisting in the development of policy and strategy, and providing core training and development programs to all social work staff in relation to Looked After children's research and practice. The IRO ensures the service is effective, reflects statutory requirements, adapts to change, and delivers good outcomes for children and young people.
The post-holder takes responsibility for ensuring the Department has a high-quality professional service, has a role in planning services, and minimizes risk both to service users and to the City Council.
Benefits of working with Remedy:
A personal one-on-one service from your highly experienced dedicated consultant.
Top-tier supplier across London giving us first access to jobs.
Competitive referral scheme.
Double payrolls each week.
Terms & Conditions apply.
You will be required to fully register with Remedy for all locum positions.
To be considered for this role, please apply with your CV to the social care team.
