In CHAT decision-making is viewed as a collaborative process between the social worker and the referrer and our aim is to move away from authoritative decision-making. The Conversation Model encourages workers to engage more deeply with clients' experiences rather than making decisions based solely on minimizing risk. This offers a human centred alternative to a procedural approach, which is based in restorative, relationship-based practice.</p>","shortDescription":"","salaryDescription":"Grade H SCP 26 - 30, Salary £36,124 - £39,513","publishDate":"2024-10-25T09:04:00.000Z","expirationDate":"2024-11-10T23:59:00.000Z","logoUri":"https://www.lgjobs.com/logos/logos/3c397789-3b17-4cad-b291-5178cfac6a10.png","score":1,"featured":false,"enhanced":false}],"totalResults":114,"page":1,"pageSize":20,"facets":{"WorkingPatterns":{"1":74,"2":36,"3":29,"4":13,"5":3,"6":12,"7":15,"8":2},"PublishDate":{"1":10,"2":10,"3":54,"4":81,"5":114},"LocationType":{"2":27,"3":87},"ContractType":{"1":81,"2":11,"3":8,"4":1,"5":13},"JobTypes":{"administration (secretarial, clerical inc pa)":9,"building control":1,"caretaking / cleaning":3,"catering":2,"childcare":1,"commissioning":1,"communications, pr or marketing":1,"community":7,"customer service / sales":6,"economic development":2,"education - teaching staff":11,"education - leadership":1,"education - support staff":26,"engineering / facilities":1,"environment / conservation / waste management":1,"finance / pensions":2,"health and safety":1,"housing":1,"human resources / od / training":2,"information technology":5,"legal":1,"leisure and tourism":7,"libraries":3,"managerial/executive":16,"performance":2,"planning":1,"procurement / purchasing":1,"project management":5,"psychological services":1,"public health":1,"regeneration":3,"revenues / benefits":1,"security and intelligence":1,"social care":23,"social care - children":3,"social work (qualified) - children":3,"transformation":1,"transport / infrastructure":2,"voluntary":1,"waste management / recycling":1,"youth work":4},"EmployerType":{"education":23,"local government":91}},"randomNumber":0,"noOfFeaturedJobs":0,"bounds":[{"lat":53.376755,"lng":-3.156165},{"lat":53.289856,"lng":-3.1560168},{"lat":53.289856,"lng":-3.010643},{"lat":53.376755,"lng":-3.010495},{"lat":53.376755,"lng":-3.156165}],"error":null}},"dataUpdateCount":1,"dataUpdatedAt":1730189111945,"error":null,"errorUpdateCount":0,"errorUpdatedAt":0,"fetchFailureCount":0,"fetchFailureReason":null,"fetchMeta":null,"isInvalidated":false,"status":"success","fetchStatus":"idle"},"queryKey":["jobs",null,"wirral",null,null,{},{"contractType":[],"workingPatterns":[],"locationType":[],"jobTypes":[],"employerType":[],"datePosted":5},2,1],"queryHash":"[\"jobs\",null,\"wirral\",null,null,{},{\"contractType\":[],\"datePosted\":5,\"employerType\":[],\"jobTypes\":[],\"locationType\":[],\"workingPatterns\":[]},2,1]"},{"state":{"data":null,"dataUpdateCount":1,"dataUpdatedAt":1730189111861,"error":null,"errorUpdateCount":0,"errorUpdatedAt":0,"fetchFailureCount":0,"fetchFailureReason":null,"fetchMeta":null,"isInvalidated":false,"status":"success","fetchStatus":"idle"},"queryKey":["jobTypesAutocomplete",null],"queryHash":"[\"jobTypesAutocomplete\",null]"}]}
