Full Job Description
International Sponsorship - this role is not open to international sponsorship
Family Support worker (Family intensive support)
The Early Help Service sits within Education and Skills as part of the Education and Children's Services Directorate.
The redesign of the Early Help Service reflects the priorities for Education and Skills in supporting the vision for the Directorate. Specifically, these are:
To strengthen the focus on outcomes for vulnerable children, young people, and their families by adopting a needs-led approach.
To adopt a warranted variation approach that is determined by the specific nature of demand within a locality.
To support a joined-up approach across Inclusion, Education, and the CFW service by adopting a locality-based model.
To align the CFW service offer with educational provision on a locality basis, recognising that most children access childcare and attend school.
The Early Help Service enables children and families to access appropriate support as early as possible, helping them maintain their quality of life, prevent problems from escalating, and reduce the demand for specialist support services.
Role Overview
As case holders, Family Support Workers will undertake appropriate assessments of the needs of their allocated client group in line with agreed Early Help Assessment Framework processes and progress appropriate responses using the 'Team Around the Family' methodology.
They will:
Undertake the Lead Professional role where appropriate in cases requiring multi-agency support.
Develop and deliver SMART action plans designed to address identified needs.
Use agreed tools (e.g., Radars) to measure the progress made by families/individuals toward substantial and sustained change.
Carry a caseload of children and young people in families with unmet needs up to the thresholds for statutory services, with a focus on intensive support (Level 3).
Record their work fully and appropriately within agreed systems.
Family Support Workers will be line-managed by the appropriate Senior Family Support Workers.
They will normally work 37 hours per week, with some involvement in early morning, evening, or weekend sessions as required to meet the needs of families.
Minimum Level 3 or above professional and/or relevant academic qualification in Childcare, Social Care, Family Support, Youth Work, Advice & Guidance.
Vocational experience in a relevant operational field.
High-functioning ICT skills are essential.
