Job Description

Our client Yorkshire collaboration (Wakefield) is looking for a Senior Social Worker to join their Complex Care Needs Team.

Team Structure and Staffing

The team is a specialist service supporting children with disabilities aged 0-18, responsible for delivering assessments, safeguarding, support packages, and child protection plans. The service is currently undergoing a restructure as part of wider social care reforms, and the successful candidate will join during this period of transition.

Recent staffing changes and absences have resulted in increased caseloads across the team. There are currently six practitioners, with a proportion working part-time. Caseloads typically range between approximately 20-25 cases per worker.

Although caseload numbers may appear high, many cases require lower-frequency visits (e.g. every 12 weeks or 6 months), allowing workloads to be balanced effectively. All cases are currently allocated, and there is no significant backlog.

While experience working with children with disabilities is advantageous, it is not essential. The key requirements are:

Understanding of additional needs
Ability to communicate effectively with children and young people
Strong statutory social work skills
Passion for working with children and familiesBenefits of working with Remedy

A personal one-one service from your highly experienced dedicated consultant.
