Temporary Part Time Local Authority Designated Officer (Historical Abuse)
The following opportunity has arisen due to the current post holder shortly about to commence maternity leave.
A qualified and experienced social worker with at least three years post-qualifying experience in a statutory role, or be able to demonstrate the level of skill required to work at that level, is being sought for a secondment into this role which will focus solely on historical abuse allegations. You will be based at County Hall and work closely with the Historical Abuse Team, and Risk and Insurance colleagues who deal with civil claims. Regular supervision and support will be provided.
This is an excellent development opportunity for a social work practitioner who is confident and able to make decisions as well as being self-motivated and hard working. You will need to be able to work independently but also as part of a wider group of professionals, both internal and external to NCC, and within a strategic context. This post is ideal for either broadening your practitioner based experience or as a potential stepping stone to a management role.
Funding for this post has been agreed until the end of March 2018 but it is anticipated this will be extended for a further period. The current post holder is anticipated to return to work at the end of August 2018.
