Are you an experienced Social Worker who excels in supporting children and families within crisis? Join our MASH service in the Integrated Front Door (IFD) for a rewarding opportunity. 

Experience a "seamless service" with a balanced work-life schedule. The role doesn't involve case-holding, as long-term work is delegated to our Support and Safeguarding Teams.

Our service offers a 24/7, 365-day response to concerns for children and young people. We offer a single access point for all contacts and referrals aligning with statutory and local guidelines for child safety and wellbeing. 

This role involves collaboration with early help, partners and area teams, ensuring consistent threshold decision making at the forefront of delivery in Wiltshire. 

As a MASH Social Worker, your focus is on efficiently recognising and managing risk, fostering positive opportunities for Wiltshire's young people. You will remotely engage with partners, family members, and young people to make threshold decisions. 

In addition to possessing the required Social Work qualifications and registration with Social Work England, we seek individuals who share our vision. In return, we will provide you with the comprehensive support and guidance you need to excel in your role and make a lasting difference.
