Our client Birmingham Children's Trust is looking for a Senior Practitioner to join their Family Help team.
Family Help is Birmingham Children's Trust's integrated approach to supporting children and families earlier, reducing unnecessary handovers between services and promoting collaborative, trauma-informed and strengths-based practice. The service works within local communities to ensure children receive the right help at the right time.
The Family Help Team is seeking an experienced and motivated Social Worker to join our Edgbaston District Team. You will work directly with children, young people and families who require support through Child in Need planning, statutory assessments and targeted interventions. Working within Birmingham Children's Trust's Connections Count practice framework, you will undertake relationship-based social work, ensuring the child's voice remains central to assessment, planning and intervention

Build effective, trusting relationships with children, young people and families to understand their experiences, strengths and needs. Complete high-quality assessments, plans and reviews that are child-focused, analytical and evidence-based. Develop and implement outcome-focused plans that promote safety, wellbeing and positive change. Work collaboratively with schools, health professionals, police, voluntary organisations and other partner agencies to coordinate support. Attend and contribute to Family Network Meetings, Team Around the Family meetings and other multi-agency forums. Identify and manage risk, escalating safeguarding concerns appropriately and in line with safeguarding procedures. Maintain accurate and timely case recordings, assessments and plans on the Trust's recording system. Participate in regular reflective supervision and continuous professional development. Champion the Trust's Connections Count practice approach and strengths-based interventions.
