Safeguarding and Family Support Vacancies

The Safeguarding and Family Support Service responds to urgent Priority 1 and 2 child protection referrals. Everything they do is geared towards keeping children and young people safe from the risk of significant harm. They gather information and assess and prioritise all decisions about the most appropriate response under S47 of the Children Act.

The service works to secure permanency within the family, either in the community or through court processes. The most vital aspect of their work is to help make the child’s journey as smooth and safe as possible, whether that’s through PLO, court, adoption and post adoption and to prevent a ‘cycle’ of being in and out of care.

Are you passionate about making a positive and lasting difference to children and young people?

If you like to think outside the box and work in an agile way, these are the qualities that make Slough Children’s Services Trust an employer of choice. Our Child Protection Hubs are currently seeking:

• Senior Social Worker
• Social Worker

If you’re looking for a new challenge and want to be part of an exciting journey to turn children’s services around in Slough then come and join us.

Slough is one of the most diverse places in the country outside of London and a great place to live or work. In fact it’s the best place to live or work according to a survey by Glassdoor. Pleasant environments, above average salaries and a lower cost of living, mean an increased quality of life for employees. We’re also one of the most accessible places to be, nestled on the corner of the M25, M4 and M40, and less than 20 minutes by train to Central London.
