We’re keeping children at the heart of everything we do whilst improving the overall experience of the families, partners, and social workers in our sphere. We want to be at the forefront of evoking positive change in the sector and we’re looking for experienced, committed, relational social workers to join us and help us get there. Above all, we want to do the best for Newham’s children and families.</p> <p>The FSS service consists of four services and sixteen teams, supporting families from first point of contact and assessment and throughout any subsequent longer term intervention (e.g. referral to partners, CP, CiN) until the best, safest outcome is for the child is attained. Two of these teams will work exclusively with children and families whose lives are influenced by disability or SEND to ensure that we retain the expertise necessary to support these families. Where proceedings are necessary court work is moved on to our Children in Care service.</p> <p>Senior Social Workers in the FSS service are caseholding and will be on duty 1 week in 16; we hope this will be a welcome change for social workers who are used to busy assessment services, and a positive CPD opportunity for practitioners whose experience is mainly in longer term work. There will also be CPD opportunities for senior social workers to line manage and support less experienced colleagues, students, and NQSWs; bridging the gap between family facing practice and management whilst enhancing their CVs.</p> <p><strong>ABOUT YOU</strong></p> <p>We are looking for qualified, SWE registered Senior Social Workers with several years’ post qualifying experience within a statutory children’s social work service. It’s essential that applicants understand the value of working with families from first point of contact to completion and are enthusiastic about this way of working. We’re also keen to meet practitioners who value their own CPD, will make the most of our academy offer and are excited about the prospect of working with management to embed good practice and support colleagues at the early stages of their career.</p> <p>We’re looking for conscientious, considerate and empathetic people, who are committed to working relationally with families whilst putting every child’s welfare, potential, and future at the heart of their work. Newham is committed to our workforce being representative of the families we work with, to enhance cultural competence and adjust our practice to suit the individuals we serve. We are looking for colleagues who share our values and are passionate about tackling disproportionality wherever they find it and building a Fairer Newham.</p> <p>You will have a genuine interest in a restorative, relationship based practice model, drawing on systemic thinking to inform your approach to building effective relationships with children, families and communities. We’d love to hear from social workers who are keen on learning and growing with us over a number of years and as an employer we’ve been working hard to provide the development our practitioners need and want. Our Academy offer has been commended by Ofsted and we promoted 38 internal colleagues in children’s social care in 2024.</p> <p><strong>WHY WORK WITH US?</strong></p> <p>We’ve been working hard to make Newham a great place to practise social work.</p> <ul>\n<li>A commitment to addressing disproportionality wherever we find it.</li> <li>We’re a GOOD local authority focused on reaching excellence.</li> <li>We offer genuinely flexible/hybrid working as long as children and families are supported.</li> <li>Stability: 100% of senior management and 80% of Team Managers are now permanent.</li> <li>Our firmly established practice model, Circles of Support, was recently nominated for the prestigious MJ Award for Innovation in Children’s Services and allows systemic, restorative practice to flourish.</li> <li>Career progression is possible with Newham; within Children’s social work we promoted 30 internal colleagues in 2023 and 38 colleagues so far in 2024.</li> <li>Social Care Academy – our academy received significant praise from Ofsted and 50+ social workers have studied for systemic higher education with us since 2020.</li> <li>A competitive salary package that rivals capped agency pay.</li> <li>Oyster card/parking permit for business use.</li> <li>Wellbeing service, leisure and discount benefits</li> <li>Travel season ticket loan, cycle scheme, Local Authority pension.</li> </ul> <p> </p><p><strong>TO APPLY</strong></p> <p>To apply please submit your CV and supporting statment through our <strong>online recruitment portal</strong><strong>.</strong> </p> <p>Shortlisting decisions will be made based on requirements listed in the person spec in relation to the service advertised, as evidenced in each candidate's CV and supporting statement.</p> <p><strong>Closing date: 27/01/2025 at 23:59*</strong></p> <p><strong>*Please apply ASAP as we may shortlist and interview candidates before this closing date*</strong></p> <p><strong>Interviews: From early January</strong></p> <p>If you have any questions about the recruitment process or want to discuss joining Newham Childre<img src=\"https://ars2.equest.com/?response_id=eb5fa18be2189d083093e0d67b68faef&view\" alt=\" \" width=\"1\" height=\"1\"></p>","shortDescription":"","salaryDescription":"£50,000 - £74,999","publishDate":"2024-12-19T15:40:05.000Z","expirationDate":"2025-01-27T23:59:59.000Z","logoUri":"https://www.jobsgopublic.com/logos/logos/4771320d-bae9-4d25-a25b-a8f536e1470b.JPG","score":1,"featured":false,"enhanced":false},{"id":"13af92e6-2251-47bd-8ae7-04d7fca1ae39","title":"Careers & HE Adviser","employer":"London Borough of Havering","department":"Havering Sixth Form College","location":"Havering Sixth Form College","locationType":3,"description":"<p class=\"customHTML\"><strong class=\"customHTML\">The Role:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"customHTML\">The Careers Team at New City College are seeking enthusiastic and proactive Careers & HE Advisers to join the team for vacancies at our Havering campuses (Hornchurch, Ardleigh Green and Rainham) and across the group.  </p>\n<p class=\"customHTML\"> </p>\n<p class=\"customHTML\"><strong class=\"customHTML\">Key Responsibilities:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"customHTML\">To provide high quality Careers Information Advice and Guidance (IAG) to students, helping to develop career management skills and enhance their employability opportunities.  You will provide IAG to current students guiding them to make informed next step choices.</p>\n<p class=\"customHTML\"> </p>\n<p class=\"customHTML\"><strong class=\"customHTML\">Who You Are:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"customHTML\">You will have experience of working in career guidance or a related setting, as well as excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a commitment to high quality careers service delivery.</p>\n<p class=\"customHTML\">You will need to hold a professional qualification in Careers Guidance, ideally at Level 6 or above.  However, there may be opportunities for those holding a Level 4 in Careers Guidance to train to Level 6 while working for us.  The posts could be available on a full or part-time basis.</p>\n<p class=\"customHTML\"> </p>\n<p class=\"customHTML\"><strong class=\"customHTML\">What We Offer:</strong></p>\n<ul class=\"customHTML\">\n<li class=\"customHTML\">Pension: New City College provides a career average pension scheme for all staff.
