Relational & Restorative Practice Advisor

7 days ago

Cannock, Staffordshire, United Kingdom Staffordshire County Council Full time

A vacancy has arisen within the Virtual School's Relational and Restorative Practice team working primarily across the Cannock and Lichfield districts, but with expected travel across the whole county.

The post is permanent and you will join a team of enthusiastic advisors who are supporting education settings and wider professionals across the county.

This is an exciting role which is developing work across the county in a variety of disciplines, including education settings and Children and Families colleagues. If you are keen to shape change and work in an innovative team, this job might be for you

Main Responsibilities

There are 4 main strands of work. These are:

  1. Solution circles - offering information, advice and guidance when schools are stuck and struggling to know what to try next with individual children and young people.
  2. Restorative Conferences - these are used following a significant incident or where there has been conflict and relationships have broken down
  3. Student Ambassador training and support - this involves developing groups of children and young people to lead the way in their schools, supporting a relational and restorative approach
  4. A training offer for schools looking to develop their knowledge and practice to make their school more trauma informed, attachment aware and relational in their approach

This job will also involve establishing and leading networks of practitioners from schools, local authorities and external agencies to develop a relational approach of working with children and families.

The Ideal Candidate

You'll need to:

  • Be an experienced practitioner working with Children and Families, who has a developed level of skill and knowledge around relational and restorative approaches
  • Have an understanding of the barriers faced by vulnerable children and young people in education and be able to use this understanding to support schools
  • Be a confident communicator who can facilitate meetings and advocate for children and young people

As you will be expected to work in-person across the whole county, it is desirable that you have a full driving licence and use of a car.
