Children's Social Worker

The Children's Social Care department is seeking a passionate and dedicated Social Worker to join the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) and play a key role in making a positive difference for children in Tameside.

This is a non case holding vacancy that requires you to be office based the majority of the time - if you have strong safeguarding experience but are looking for a break from carrying a caseload then this could be the role for you.

About the team:
The MASH Team consists of various agencies dedicated to meeting the needs of Tameside.

They cultivate a supportive environment that promotes collaboration with key agencies from the earliest stages of a child's journey.


As part of Tameside's team of seven Social Workers, you will receive robust management support and work closely with colleagues.

About the role:
In this role, you will manage a balanced caseload, allowing your skills and expertise to shine.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Identifying and assessing risks and needs during referral screenings.


• Conducting MASH Intelligence Checks with partner agencies to recommend appropriate risk levels.


• Triangulating information from screenings and Intelligence Checks to evaluate risk and need levels.


• Preparing and presenting cases at Threshold Meetings.


• Providing advice and information to families.


• Referring families to additional services and organisations to address their identified needs.

We are looking for exceptional Social Workers who can make a significant difference in the lives of children and families and share our commitment to improving outcomes for children, young people and their families.
