Job description

Opus people solutions on behalf of Northampton Children's Trust have an exciting opportunity for a Social Worker to join their Children In Care Long Term Team

As a Children's Social Worker at Northamptonshire Children's Trust, you'll join a supportive learning culture, be able to influence change, challenge others and share your expertise.


Our Children in Care Team provides oversight for all the children in care in Northamptonshire.

This includes children subject to legal proceedings as well as children with a plan to remain long term in our care.

We focus on building meaningful relationships with young people, their families and their carers to ensure that we plan effectively for the future of every child. You'll be conducting clear, accurate assessments, coordinating multi-agency approaches, and building positive relationships.

  • You will need to demonstrate that you have experience of looked after children care.
  • Your experience could have been gained whilst working in a LAC, court team, attending court whilst working in a safeguarding service or another area of children's services.
  • This is a very fast paced and busy role that strives to deliver positive outcomes for our children and families in collaboration with our colleagues in the Leaving Care Service and our external partners.

If you thrive to make a difference and have 2 years Social worker experience and this is the role for you, then we would love to hear from you.
