The posting

Liquid Personnel is recruiting a Children’s Social Worker to join its client’s Family Help & Front Door team, based in Manchester. This is a unique, non-case holding social work opportunity designed to bridge the gap between Family Help Services and the Front Door of Social Care. Rather than managing a traditional caseload, you will act as a community-facing consultant and facilitator, ensuring families receive early, effective intervention and that risk is identified accurately at the point of referral.

What will your responsibilities be?

  • Community Outreach: Reach out into the community to support families by building on their existing strengths and facilitating access to necessary support services.
  • Front Door Support: Work alongside First Response Advisors and multi-agency partners to process referrals, share information, and identify both risks and strengths.
  • Partnership Coordination: Use high-level partnership skills to draw agencies together, showing partners how to build effective plans and enable successful interventions.
  • Service Navigation: Ensure the "right work reaches the right place at the right time" by facilitating smooth work transfers from the Front Door to the appropriate long-term services.
  • Risk Consultation: Provide expert advice and guidance on levels of need and risk thresholds to community partners and families.

Working Hours and Flexibility:

  • Non-Case Holding: This is a purely consultative and facilitative role, focusing on throughput and community engagement rather than long-term case management.
  • Service Needs: You may be required to work outside of core business hours to meet the needs of the service and the families within the community.
  • Contract: Full-time agency cover within an "Outstanding" rated local authority.

Our Commitment:

  • Strengths-Based Practice: We believe in empowering families through relationship-based social work and early intervention.
  • Integrated Care: We are aligning our services to ensure there is no "wrong door" for families seeking help in Manchester.

Qualifications and Experience:

To be successful in this role you must have;

  • Social Work England registration and a recognized Social Work qualification.
  • Risk Expertise: Deep knowledge of safeguarding thresholds and the ability to assess risk confidently in a non-statutory setting.
  • Relationship Building: Exceptional engagement skills with the ability to build kind, professional relationships with families and community stakeholders.
  • Compliance: Candidates must provide a 5-year reference history (with all gaps checked) and must pass the DfE Recommendation Compliance Questions to be considered.

Why Liquid Personnel?

  • Free DBS and compliance service
  • Twice weekly payroll and ‘Faster Pay’ service, getting you paid more quickly
  • Access to exclusive roles that aren’t available from other agencies
  • Free access to Liquid’s exclusive social work training and CPD portal
  • Your own dedicated consultant with extensive social work knowledge
  • Access to a wide selection of social work positions across the UK
  • “Refer a Friend” bonus – get £500 for each social worker you refer who we successfully place*
  • “Find your own job” bonus – get £250 for bringing your own position to us *

Note to Applicants: This role is ideal for an experienced Social Worker who enjoys the "front end" of social care and partnership working but prefers a role without the requirements of long-term statutory case holding.

Reasonable Adjustments: If you consider yourself to have a disability or require any reasonable adjustment during the recruitment process, please highlight this at your earliest opportunity.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
