It is fast paced so you will need to be flexible, use your initiative and skill set to manage your workload.

A family's needs and situation can change so you will need to be able to prioritise, adapt your practice and remain calm in difficult situations.


Family Support is a strengths-based service where the child is at the centre of our work, their voice and views are the most important.

You will need to be able to identify and understand risk and keep this under review this throughout the case.


You will need good IT skills (being proficient in Word, Excel and databases) and be able to communicate effectively at all levels.


We want our people to be inspired and motivated to work well together, make the most of our workspaces, enjoy a healthy work-life balance, and deliver excellent services to Norfolk and its people.

Flexibility is built into the way we work, with hybrid working a key feature for many roles. Our technology platform and equipment are first class, enabling you to connect and collaborate remotely. We ask that you have in place good Broadband connectivity.
