About the Role

Here in Trafford Children’s Services our vision is that our teams are offering the right help at the right time, and that at all levels our interventions make life better for children and families. We are ambitious for our children and for our practitioners – and our core value is ‘would this be good enough for my child’?

In Trafford our approach is strengths-based, using relational and restorative practice. Our recent Ofsted report referred to our “relational model of social work practice, which is well regarded by the wider workforce, has been successfully implemented.”

We believe that a culture and environment in which our managers and social workers can thrive is an essential element of improving outcomes for children and families. To support this, we have invested in a 3-year programme with relational specialists Strengthening Practice to provide ongoing training and enhance our social workers’ personal development. Our 2023 Ofsted report recognised this, noting a “cultural shift (that) has been underpinned by a strong training offer to support social workers to develop the skills they need to provide a better service to children”.

We are currently recruiting qualified social workers to the following parts of our service and would love to hear from you;

Cared for Children and Care Experienced Young people – We have brought together our Aftercare service and our Permanence service to create a ‘through care’ approach dedicated to children and young people who have a permanence plan, who then make that transition to being a care experienced young person.

In this service you will be supporting our cared for children and enabling our teenagers and care experienced young people to tackle the ups and downs, move on in life and achieve their full potential.

Can you offer the care and support that is essential for a child coming out of care proceedings, needing to have a sense of belonging and stability? Do you have the experience to recognise and work with those who have hidden hurt or trauma, pull partners around the child and carer and make the difference that will provide a network of support and guidance?  If so, this service is for you.
