The Town Council has met a number of its original aims and objectives and continues, as a part of its vision for the town, to drive an ambitious programme of growth, with aspirations to ensure the very best services and facilities are provided for its residents and visitors. There are also a number of projects which the Council wishes to undertake and complete as soon as possible.

The Assistant Clerk will have a key role in supporting and assisting with delivering these aims and objectives. The post holder will be a key component in ensuring that this aspirational Council meets its stated aims and objectives within the Town.

Applicants must be able to demonstrate that they have relevant experience – a track record of managing budgets and financial matters, service achievement and innovation, as well as be motivated, community focused, and possess sound IT, communication and organisational skills.

Due to the expansion of the Virtual School, we have an exciting opportunity to be part of our team working to improve educational outcomes for Children in Care and Care Leavers in Dorset, aiming to set up high quality teaching and learning experiences for our children and young people across Early Years, schools and Post-16 Providers.

• Effective communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills enabling successful collaboration with diverse individuals and agencies.

• Experience of setting targets and monitoring and reporting on progress against these targets.

IPS Employment and IAG Advisor Independent Reviewing Officer

Salary: Grade 7 Level 1 ‐ 4 (£29,230 to £31,391 per annum)

Salary: £48,474 - £51,515 Up until August 2023 our Child Protection Chairs and Independent Reviewing Officers had been undertaking a dual role, chairing child protection conferences and looked after children reviews. We took the decision to trial a separation of these roles in August 2023 to allow more of a focus on each specialist role, which has been working extremely well so far and has supported us to strengthen practice.

We are currently looking to recruit a full-time independent reviewing officer. The job description and role applied for, remains that of a dual role as this remains a trial currently, however it is highly likely this will remain an IRO post based on positive outcomes of the trial so far.

This involves understanding and promoting the young person’s voice and driving plans that are aspirational for young people and support them to achieve stability and permanence at the earliest opportunity.

You will conduct face to face visits to all your young people at least once between every looked after review meeting and will ensure IRO midway reviews are conducted between each looked after review meeting to ensure the young person’s plan is progressing. All looked after reviews are now face to face in Barnsley as we recognise this is best practice and ensures a more effective meeting is conducted.

You will need substantial experience in statutory social work with looked after children and families, of chairing complex meetings and of working within a multi agency framework. You will have a thorough working knowledge of the legal framework relating to child protection and looked after children, including Care Planning Regulations and the duties and responsibilities of the Independent Reviewing Officer as set out in the IRO Handbook.

You will join a friendly, supportive and committed team and play a full part in its operation and ongoing development. You will receive regular supervision, appraisal, training and development opportunities, all aimed at promoting positive outcomes for young people and supporting your career development and progression.

We live and work by four important values: honesty, teamwork, excellent service, and taking pride in what we do. As part of our team, you can be assured we will support you in striving for excellence in your work. We prioritise learning and enabling you to achieve your potential. So we’ve created a development process that lets you grow in the way that suits you - whether that’s training to be a leader, or learning flexibly online.
