Children's Advanced Practitioner - Duty service

Our client Wigan Council is looking for a Children's Advanced Practitioner to join their Duty service.

Job description

An Advanced Practitioner is a critical role within the team as they offer mentoring, coaching, support, and practice expertise to other less experienced team members. The role has acknowledged depth of expertise, including the assessment and appropriate management of risk.

This role will help to deliver and lead good quality, child-centred practice across the service. You will ensure that the Family Safeguarding model is embedded in all our work with children and families. You will demonstrate effective leadership and management to support staff and work alongside Team Managers to ensure that the service meets all statutory requirements and practice standards.

You will be key in developing the whole workforce, fostering a culture of continued learning, encouraging reflection and through leading by example. You will help enable learning circles, group discussions and reflective supervision and have great analytical and decision-making skills. You will ensure that supervision is reflective, challenging, and explorative with the child's voice at the heart of plans to support children and families.
Through the implementation of the workforce strategy and new era principles, you will demonstrate and encourage others to be creative, innovative and improve service delivery, demonstrating improved outcomes and value for money. Ensuring team members understand and adhere to the quality assurance framework, (including case audits) and practice standards as well as continuing to improve evidence-based practice, learning from SCRs and the latest research that informs practice and decision making will be critical.

You will hold a small but complex case load, which includes opportunities for co-working in order to support the development of less experienced social workers. This role will include undertaking assessments, visiting children and their families, carrying out interventions, reviewing the work undertaken, and direct work with children, young people and families and any other work identified, as necessary.

You will ensure that practice is underpinned by the Team Wigan behaviours and our practice standards, and that the motivational interviewing is embedded in our work with children and families.
