Head of Family Help (Protection/ Prevention)- County Wide

3x Permanent contracts available- 37 hours per week- £62,526 to £69,768 per annum (Scale N) 

Hi, I’m Phil Watson, Director for Family Help and High Needs, and I am proud and excited to be advertising critical senior roles for our new Family Help service. 

As a Good Children’s Service and following the successful pilot of an approach here in Norfolk, working as multi-disciplinary teams to collaboratively meet the needs of children, and in a culture that prioritises relationships, direct work and extended family networking to affect sustainable change, you will be joining ata critical time as we continue to build on and embed our model countywide.

This way of working, whilst mirroring some of the ambitions laid out in the National Children’s Social Care Review (2022) and the Government’s response to that, Stable Homes Built on Love (2023), it further amplifies and enhances elements we know have worked for our children, families and practitioners in Norfolk for some time. 

However, we have ambitions that this model will continue to evolve, and alongside your inspirational leadership and influence across the system, that interventions become even more multi-agency, integrated and aligned with our early help offer. 

So, I invite you to consider whether you have the ethos, passion and leadership skills to join our leadership team. 

We are looking for area-based heads of service for both our Prevention and Protection services across the County. Heads of Prevention and Heads of Protection will be paired and manage across a geographical patch, with the former leading on preventative support and the latter with a focus on social work practice and expertise. So you need excellent inter-personal skills to ensure you are jointly leading and delivering highly effective services and MDT support spanning help and protection.
