Learning Disability and Autism Keyworker

2 weeks ago

Ilford, Greater London, United Kingdom Barnardo's Full time

Are you an experienced practitioner looking for a dynamic role that makes a positive impact on the lives of children and young people with learning disabilities, autism or both?

Do you believe in transforming health, social care and educational systems for children and young people with learning disabilities, autism or both?

West Yorkshire Keyworker Service is recruiting and this could be the next role for you.


The National Health Service Long Term Plan (LTP) includes commitment that 'by 2023/24 children and young people with a learning disability, autism or both with the most complex needs will have a designated keyworker.


Initially, keyworker support will be provided to children and young people who are inpatients or at risk of being admitted to hospital.

Keyworker support will also be extended to the most vulnerable children with a learning disability and/or autism, including those who face multiple vulnerabilities such as looked after and adopted children, and children and young people in transition between services.


As
Keyworker you will:

  • Have knowledge and experience of learning disabilities and autism (this can also be lived experience).
  • Have responsibility for a caseload working with children, young people, their parents/carers and families to navigate what can be a complex health and social care system so that their needs are met before reaching crisis point.
  • Build a trusting relationship with families so they get the support that they need at the right time, and where possible local to them, in their community.
  • Secure wraparound support and care for children and young people with complex learning disabilities, autism or both.
  • Work alongside crosssector multiagency professionals including health, education, youth justice, voluntary sector and social care.
  • Work with our coproduction lead to ensure the Service is developed and coproduced with parents, carers, young people and those with lived experience.
  • Receive quality and reflective supervision and learning opportunities to develop you in the role.


This is an exciting and innovative role which will give you the opportunity to work in partnership with the four West Yorkshire Health Trusts, the five local authorities, local advocacy organisations and the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector.


Working within the parameters of legislation, you will champion the perspective of the child, young person and family, being an advocate and challenging systems to support them within a positive risk-taking approach.


As Keyworker you will share your knowledge and expertise in this area of work with the wider team as well as provide guidance and advice to colleagues and work with the Programme Manager, Statutory Health Lead, 4 Team Managers and 3 Senior Keyworkers and a Specialist Keyworking Team consisting of 7 Learning Disability and Autism Leads to provide a Service that will make a difference to the lives of children and young people and their families.

You will be joining a team that is passionate about the work they do and support one another through peer supervision and reflective learning sessions.
