Salary: Grade 6 -   £19,819 -£22,401

Following the introduction of the Children’s Transformation programme we have vacancies for 1 full time permanent First Response Workers within the First Response Team.

We are seeking one motivated and enthusiastic person  to join our Team which is situated within Staffordshire’s Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub alongside Police, Adult Protection, Probation, Child Health and Mental Health colleagues.

As part of Families First, our Team is a very busy telephone, email and web enquiry referral service dealing with enquiries about vulnerable children throughout the county of Staffordshire that are not currently in receipt of targeted services or Social Work intervention. 

The First response workers support the Team Manager and Senior Practitioner Social Workers to ensure that a high -quality service is provided to all our customers. 

First Response Workers provide a professional response to all initial enquiries by effectively discriminating between those that require the provision of information or signposting as an appropriate response and those that require a social work assessment or targeted services.

Good Communication, IT and keyboard skills are essential and a knowledge of Care Director SAP, TRIM & CISS would be beneficial, as would be an understanding of the referral service as operated by the First Response Team.

The post holder will be expected to work flexibly and on a rota basis as required to meet the needs of the service.

For an informal discussion about the position please call Team Manager Marion Martin on 01785 854128 or email marion.martin@staffordshire.gov.uk

Closing Date: 17.02.2018

Please be aware, only application forms completed online will be accepted. We will not accept CV’s or Word application forms.

This Authority is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people/vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

This position is subject to a criminal records check from the Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly CRB) which will require you to disclose details of all unspent and unfiltered spent reprimands, formal warnings, cautions and convictions in your application form.
