Devon, United Kingdom Devon County Council Full time

Make an impact where it matters the most. – Children's Social Work in Devon. 

About Us   

We're on an exciting and ambitious journey of cultural change. We're continuing to embed and relational ways of working. We believe that for most families, the family home is the best place for children to live and thrive. 

We're proud of our workforce and what we are achieving for children and families in Devon. Our social work teams are committed to providing the best service possible and are supported by our ambitious culture. 

About the Role

As a Family Practitioner you will provide targeted support to children and families with multiple and complex needs, subject to a range of statutory interventions in Mid and East Devon. You will support families to reduce the risk of children and young people becoming accommodated in the local authority care. The family practitioner role works alongside social workers to inform assessment and planning for children and their families to attempt to reduce harm, and achieve the best outcomes for children.

About You

We aim to deliver earlier and quicker services to families working in partnership with other professionals across Mid and East Devon. You will need to build relationships with families and provide practical hands on help and support to make positive changes. You will need good communication skills and have skills to adapt your approach when working with children and families. You will also need to be efficient, dependable, tenacious and assertive, working with families who have been previously apprehensive to interventions from Children’s Social Care.

Internal Applicants, please note: If you are an existing DCC employee, please use your iTrent Employee Self Service (ESS) details to log in and apply.

Applications close on 16th June and interviews will take place on Thursday 27th June
