ATV is seeking suitably qualified and experienced social workers to be part of the Pool of Casual Assessors, who can undertake temporary work when requested, to help the service progress timely assessment of prospective adopters.

You will receive supervision on at least 3 occasions during the assessment, induction training, and on going training as required, to help you maintain team requirements. You will be invited to attend 2 hours team meeting per month, also to help you maintain the team standards, and communications. We value all of our staff and Casual Sessional Staff are part of our team too.
The role involves allocation meeting; undertaking the assessment, which currently is mostly through use of video conferencing; following up on checks and references; writing the PAR, presentation to panel, and a handover visit.
