An exciting opportunity has arisen for Senior Family Assessment Workers to join our brand-new Residential Family Assessment Centre, based in Knowsley: Lytham Lodge.
The company have launched Lytham Lodge in response to seeing first-hand how children struggle when they are separated from their parents.

- To work with families on a day-to-day basis, observing and recording the parents' abilities to meet the immediate safety and care needs of their children. This will be completed through daily observations.
- To ensure parents/carers prioritise the safety and welfare needs of their children, and promptly respond to any safeguarding worries.
- To create a supportive learning environment for parents and children.
- To provide individual sessions with families, specific to their individual needs.
- To promote and deliver a clear and planned parenting support offer.
The Registered Manager has extensive child protection knowledge, and has worked as Local Authority social worker and team manager; and the Responsible Individual has extensive knowledge with regards to Residential support.
The Senior Family Assessment worker will be offered regular formal supervision and encouraged to partake in lots of reflective discussions.
The company have invested in a therapeutic service who will facilitate regular group supervisions, and staff views and input will be listened to and valued.
They will be supported by the work of a multi-disciplinary team; all working together for the best outcomes of the babies/ children.

About the company
Lytham Lodge is a brand-new Residential Family Assessment Centre, based in Kirkby (northwest of England).
We are part of a wider company which offers residential care to children, who currently cannot live with their parents.
The company formed 12 years ago and is owned by the same family to this day. There is a strong commitment and passion to deliver the best service possible to enhance the lives of children.
The company have launched Lytham Lodge in response to seeing firsthand how children struggle when they are separated from their parents.
It was felt if we could support families at the earliest opportunity, there may be a chance to keep more children safely living with their parents; ultimately achieving better outcomes for children.
We know from research that children in care have below average outcomes across a range of measures.We also know a delay in decision making regarding a child entering the care system can also lead to detrimental outcomes.
Therefore, intervening early and offering a concise, evidenced based assessment of parental capacity at the earliest stage can only be a positive measure, speeding up the decision-making process for the child.
Many of the parents that we will support and assess will have faced multiple adverse experiences as children and adults themselves and may not have experienced consistently good enough parenting growing up.
As a result of their experiences, parents often do not have a good internal model of what it is to be a parent.
They may not be sensitive to the emotional and / or basic care needs of their child due to emotional / psychological trauma that they may have sustained.
There will be a variety of reasons why the parents are referred to Lytham Lodge with their young children, this could include a history of neglect, physical or emotional harm, abuse of drugs or alcohol, mental health, learning difficulties, or domestic abuse.
We are committed, wherever possible, to providing children, parents, and families with the necessary support and intervention to rectify, address, or improve the difficult-
