This may involve disclosing proportionate and relevant information related to the parents/cares or siblings.

·Generic Safeguarding Team provides a range of services for Child Protection and Family Support Services and including children who are looked after

The social work role in the MASH requires good IT and interpersonal skills and the ability to make sound risk assessments at the point of referral to children's social care. It would be helpful, although not essential, to have an understanding and working knowledge of Care First 6.

You will be Social Work England registered, ideally a driver with access to own car and able to reside and work in the UK
