Portsmouth has a strong history of partnership working and has successfully integrated several local services. Why work for Portsmouth City Council? Following our Ofsted inspection in May 2023, Portsmouth City Council Children's Services was judged to be 'Good'. We are now striving to become 'Outstanding' and are committed to promoting a 'think family' approach to safeguarding and reunification in Portsmouth. We want families to bring up their own children, where support may be required to keep families together, we want to work with families to do this in the most helpful way possible and when it is necessary for children to come into our care we want to reduce the number of days that this is for and reunify children whenever it is safe and in their best interest to do so. This is why Portsmouth City Council continues to provide significant investment in social work with children, young people and their families to make this a reality. The Service: We have exciting opportunities for qualified social workers to join Children and Families Directorate in one of our Family Support & Safeguarding Teams (geographically based) in Portsmouth City Council.

What our staff say: \"I have learned excellent time management skills and how to prioritise my work so that I can meet firm deadlines along with the pressure this creates. I have developed my communication skills to enable me to establish and maintain good working relationships with parents to engage them in social work and support them to achieve the planned outcomes. Managing my own feelings and emotions around this intensive and often challenging work has been crucial in order for me to continue working at this high level. This role has been a huge learning curve and each day brings something new to learn. It is always interesting.\" (Julie, Main Grade Social Worker) “What I like about working in Portsmouth is that we are close to senior leadership; they know who we are and are in touch with our cases. Direct line managers are great as we get so much support.” (Chloe, Higher Grade Social Worker) Ofsted commentary: \"Skilled, joined-up work, delivered through the local authority’s preferred model of practice and involving workers for adults and children, is improving the experiences and progress of children. Portsmouth’s leaders are ambitious for their workforce to be trained and effective practitioners. The chosen model of practice has become strongly embedded in the work with children and families and workers have been trained and supported in this approach. The multidisciplinary model has improved outcomes for children and reduced harm, and feedback from families to inspectors was overwhelmingly positive. Portsmouth is a centre for learning and practitioners benefit from a comprehensive workforce development offer. Social workers talk positively about working in Portsmouth and inspectors consistently heard about their loyalty and commitment to the service.\" What you'll get in return We really appreciate our employees and fully realise they are essential to our success and look to offer an inclusive, supportive working environme<img src=\"https://ars2.equest.com/?response_id=147080452ecb6d3102400769c904d7c1&view\" alt=\" \" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">","shortDescription":"","salaryDescription":"£35,000 - £44,999","publishDate":"2024-12-20T15:40:04.000Z","expirationDate":"2025-01-01T23:59:59.000Z","logoUri":"https://www.lgjobs.com/logos/logos/38fce5aa-528c-4a09-a885-848f3de33f57.png","score":1,"featured":false,"enhanced":false},{"id":"8a3c48f7-ba5e-4c60-8d18-62e03e648ee3","title":"Casual Worker","employer":"Portsmouth City Council","department":"","location":"Portsmouth","locationType":3,"description":"Salary: £14.90 per hour Contract: Casual Hours: A standard shift is 07:30 to 22:30 or 22:30 to 07:30 Closing date: Tuesday 14 January 2025, 23:59 Portsmouth City Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
