MASH Practitioner

Are you passionate about promoting the welfare and safety of children and young people, and survivors of domestic abuse? An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced safeguarding practitioner working in Nottingham City Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) at a time of great change and reform within Childrens Services. The post will provide the successful candidate the opportunity to work within a multi-agency team in partnership with a range of agencies from across the safeguarding partnership, such as the Police and Childrens Services, whilst also being a part of the wider CityCare Safeguarding Team. You will undertake a number of key functions within the MASH, sharing relevant health information to help ensure that children and young people in Nottingham City receive the right help at the right time. The post holder will need to have robust safeguarding knowledge, and a solution-focused approach which will enable them to develop effective professional relationships with safeguarding partners. You will hold an active registration in a profession relevant to safeguarding (such as nursing, midwifery, teaching or social work) and have experience working directly with children and families - applying safeguarding policy and processes. This is a 22 hour (3 days a week) 6 month fixed term contract. Working pattern: Monday Friday 9-5, however the post holder may be expected to work outside of these hours in exceptional circumstances.
