Do you want to be part of a service that is passionate about improving the lives of disabled children and their families? We are delighted to be offering the opportunity to join our highly regarded Disabled Children's Service, where you will be part of an experienced and passionate team dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for disabled children, young people and their families.
About the Service
North Yorkshire Council's Children's Services have a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, child-centred services, and we are committed to creating an environment where Social Workers can flourish.
We know that great practice starts with a supported workforce, which is why we invest heavily in the development, wellbeing and progression of our staff. Whether you are at the beginning of your social work career or looking for your next challenge, you will join a service that values your expertise, encourages professional curiosity and provides the support you need to make a meaningful difference.
The Role:
Our 0-18 Disabled Children's Service takes a holistic and child-centred approach, working with a diverse range of children, young people and families, often alongside a wide network of professionals.
As a Social Worker, you will build strong relationships with families and work in partnership with them across Child in Need (Section 17), Children in Care and Child Protection (Section 47) frameworks. The role involves undertaking assessments, identifying strengths and needs, implementing timely and proportionate interventions, signposting to relevant support services and where required, developing and coordinating packages of support to improve outcomes and promote independence.
Throughout your journey, you will be supported through regular reflective supervision, ongoing professional development and access to specialist expertise, enabling you to build your confidence, expand your skills and progress within a highly supportive service.
As part of our team, you will benefit from a welcoming and collaborative culture where managers are approachable, supervision is reflective and purposeful, and learning is actively encouraged. We understand the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible and hybrid working arrangements alongside opportunities to develop specialist knowledge and skills within disability social work.
Working within a specialist service provides a unique opportunity to develop expertise in disability social work, collaborate closely with education, health and care professionals, and make a genuine difference to the lives of children and young people with complex needs. No two days are the same, and the role offers both challenge and reward in equal measure.
It is an exciting time in Children and Young Peoples Services in North Yorkshire as we plan our approach in respect of the Families First Partnership Programme and how we will be responding to the social care reforms. Work is underway to plan our approach and implementations for 2027. As a result of this, some realignment may happen with job roles in the future, we want to be transparent about this in respect of this role.
