You will be working alone and hours worked will be between 17:00 – 09:15, weekends and bank holidays. My client offers fantastic peer support and excellent supervision.

Main Duties

The Out Of Hours Shift starts to take referrals for duty response at 17:00.

Referrals before 17:00 remain the responsibility of the relevant day service teams or the daytime duty service and not the Out Of Hours Service. In exceptional circumstances the Out Of Hours Senior Practitioner or the Team Manager can be approached to see whether they can assist with specific urgent work. This is entirely at the discretion of the Senior Practitioner on duty that day and must be negotiated by a Team Manager or the duty manager of the day.

The Out Of Hours Senior Practitioner prioritises work according to vulnerability and risk. The core roles of the service are safeguarding and risk management. This means that children in high risks situations or believed to be at immediate risk of harm will always take priority over all other referrals. However, Adults in high Risk situations will take priority over all other groups including children in need and child protection referrals where the child is already in a safe place.
