Work in a High Performing Local Authority which Uses Systemic Practice
A London based Local Authority is looking to take on an experienced Senior Practitioner within their Corporate Parenting service which covers both LAC and Leaving Care. This is a relatively new way of working that aims to provide a more holistic approach to service users by utilising, and bringing together the knowledge and experience from a range of disciplines to tackle cases.
The Corporate Parenting is set up to work in "Pods" with each Pod composed of an Advanced Practitioner to provide leadership, a Senior Practitioner and 3 Social Workers including a Family Finder. There is also a Primary Mental Health Practitioner attached to the Pod to provide specialist advice on complex cases that have a Mental Health component.
This Local Authority is performing well and is expecting to achieve at least a Good Ofsted. Management are extremely stable with all managers employed on a permanent basis and having been in post for at least 3 years. Outcomes for LAC are good with Social Workers holding a controlled caseload which does not go beyond 16, which is low for the region. Furthermore this is one of a few LA's which have made no cuts to its Social Care budget in the last 2 years.
To be considered for this post you should ideally have experience of working in a LAC service and have experience of Court Work.
