Our CWD Specialist Intervention Team is a newly formed team working with children and young people with Mental ill health/emotional wellbeing issues and a diagnosis of learning difficulties such as Autism /ADHD or associated behaviours. The team carry small caseloads and work intensively with families and other professionals – especially colleagues in CAMH. We are passionate, innovative and creative in our approach.

Often these young people have disengaged with education and we work very closely with colleagues in education to ensure that they have an EHCP if needed – and the right educational placement for them.

As a Social Worker within our Specialist Intervention team, you’ll be responsible for receiving and co-ordinating complex referrals and performing the resulting assessments, making professional judgements to create care plans for children and families.

You’ll take the lead role and responsibility for coordinating the multi-agency approach to prevent and address child protection issues and children in need. No matter the case or task, you’ll always promote anti-discriminatory practice and empower others.

If you have a good working knowledge of young people with autism, mental health and want the opportunity to make a real difference to young people’s lives, then please get in touch!

Please note this role does not attract sponsorship.
