QSW Children with Disabilities

We are pleased to announce an opportunity for a social worker on a temporary basis (minimum three months) to work in our West and Breckland team.

Post is based at Elizabeth House, Dereham, Norfolk.

Our Children with Disabilities (CWD) service provides support to children and young people with substantial and permanent disabilities who are 0-18 years of age.

We have three teams which cover Norfolk, and they are multi-disciplinary consisting of Social Workers, Family Practitioners, Assistant Practitioners, Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapist Assistant Practitioners.

The CWD West and Breckland team are a close-knit team working in a multi-disciplinary approach to support children, young people and their families across all aspects from initial referral to their full journey through Children’s Services including CIN, CP, CLA and transitioning to Adulthood.

We maintain strong links with internal and external partners to ensure a holistic response to the needs of the children, young people and families we are working with.

The role will be case holding, working to identify areas of need, identifying support packages that are appropriate to meet the identified needs and pieces of individual work through our CWD Occupational Therapists or CWD Outreach to enable young people have equal opportunities as those of their non-disabled peers.
