Job Description:

Join Redcar & Cleveland's dedicated Pre-Birth Team to safeguard unborn children and undertake critical assessments that determine a child's care plan from birth.

Job Responsibility:

  • Specialist Assessment: Conducting complex, comprehensive Pre-Birth Assessments in line with statutory guidance (Working Together 2023), focusing specifically on parental capacity, risk recurrence, and the projected needs of the baby at birth

  • Mentoring & Case Consultation: Providing practice guidance and support to less experienced Social Workers, modeling high-quality analytical skills and statutory compliance within the team
  • Direct Work with Parents: Engaging constructively with prospective parents who have complex histories (e.g., substance misuse, domestic abuse, learning disabilities) to support change where possible and clearly communicate the Local Authority's plan

Requirements:

  • A recognized professional qualification in Social Work
  • Current registration with Social Work England (SWE)
  • A minimum of 3+ years post-qualified experience, ideally with proven experience in a Pre-Proceedings or Assessment/Court Team
  • Expert-level knowledge of the Children Act 1989 and the legal framework governing care proceedings
