In our Family Assessment and Support Team, you will work with a range of children and their families, carers and networks. This will include children in need, children subject to child protection plans and those where public law proceedings are needed.





A good understanding of all these aspects of the legislation, practice and court process will be needed. In NYC, we have an extensive training and learning offer and will support you in your continual professional development. This includes all aspects of our defined practice model, Systemic, signs of safety and family seeing/network training.





We have high aspirations for our young people and always strive to work collaboratively with children, young people and their families, working strongly with the belief that each child and young person has a network around them which is essential to work alongside and tap into.





The role is very varied; no two days look the same for workers. We work with young people of all ages, from birth to the age of 18, and have strong links with external agencies and teams in North Yorkshire.





The team consists of a Team Manager and Practice Supervisors to support all our Social Workers in the team. The team have dedicated business support to enable Social Workers to spend more time with Children, Young People and their families. We have a well-defined supervision policy which includes regular group supervisions, individual supervisions and opportunities to participate in County Wide practice model sessions and engage in appreciative enquiry and conversation cafe's about practice with our Principal Social Worker.





The team is creative in the ways we work with families and no two plans look the same. We are looking for Social Workers with a 'can do' attitude who are child focussed, like to think outside of the box and are creative in their planning with children.





Be the change you trained to be.
