Job Description:
Liquid Personnel is recruiting a Social Worker for its client’s Recruitment & Assessment Team in Blackpool.
Join our client’s Adoption Lancashire and Blackpool service within the Recruitment & Assessment Team, where you will play a vital role in supporting the recruitment of adopters and guiding them through the adoption process. This position requires flexibility, as cases span Lancashire, Blackpool, and occasionally out-of-county, so the ability to travel independently is essential.

Core Values and Job Purpose:

What will your responsibilities be?
- Complete complex assessments of adoptive applicants and present well-written Prospective Adopter Reports to the Adoption Panel.
- Plan and deliver preparation and training sessions for adoptive applicants.
- Support applicants through matching and placement processes.
- Participate in planning, facilitating, and running training events.
- Work collaboratively as part of a committed team, contributing to service development.
- Attend team meetings, service meetings, and working groups as required.
- Deliver training for staff and adoptive applicants.
- Participate in regional and national adoption events.
- Maintain accurate records and comply with all statutory obligations and agency procedures.
- Liaise with professionals in statutory and voluntary agencies to ensure best outcomes for children and families.
Benefits:
- Competitive hourly rate.
- Opportunity to work in a specialist adoption team.
- Flexible working arrangements.
Qualifications & Experience:
To be successful in this role you must have,
- At least three years’ experience in a permanent post within a local authority.
- Must not have held a permanent or fixed-term position within the last 12 weeks.
- Social Work England registration.
- Eligible to work in the UK.
- Degree level or equivalent in Social Work.
- Ability to travel across Lancashire, Blackpool, and occasionally out of county.
- Experience completing assessments similar to Prospective Adopter Reports (adoption experience preferred but not essential).
