What will your responsibilities be?
In this position, you will manage a specialized caseload of children and young people looked after in permanent placements. Your key responsibilities will include:
- Permanence Assessments: Completing high-quality Form E and Form F assessments to secure stable, lifelong homes.
- Legal Navigation: Navigating the Children’s Hearing System and providing expert evidence in Sheriff Court for Permanence Orders and Adoption.
- Life Story Work: Helping children understand their history and identity through creative, trauma-informed direct work.
- Placement Support: Providing robust support to kinship carers and foster families to maintain placement stability and prevent breakdown.
Benefits:
- Competitive Pay: An excellent rate of £36.00 per hour.
- Regional Reach: A unique opportunity to work across the vibrant landscape of the Edinburgh and Borders region.
- Trauma-Informed Culture: Join a service that prioritizes relationship-based practice and provides clinical supervision to help manage the emotional impact of the work.
- Hybrid Model: Flexible working options that allow you to manage your admin and reports from home while remaining present for the children in your care.
Qualifications and Experience:
To be successful in this role you must have.
- Registration: Current registration with the SSSC (Scottish Social Services Council) is mandatory.
- Experience: Significant experience in a statutory Children and Families setting, with a strong grasp of permanence and adoption legislation in Scotland.
- Knowledge: Expert knowledge of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 and the Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007.
- Transport: A full UK driving license and access to a vehicle are essential due to the geographical spread of the region.
