Children's Community Therapist
4 weeks ago
Are you an experienced Hi Intensity therapist looking to support families, to help remain and stay together. The Safeguarding Families Together (SFT) approach recognises the importance of adult workers to work across the service to support bringing about changes to children and families' lives. SFT is a strength-based model, and a way of working with families so that where-ever possible they can stay together, and children can remain safely at home. It will help families to identify what changes could be made in their daily life and provide the dedicated support to enable them to achieve this. One of the principles of the service is the use of 'motivational interviewing' techniques to motivate parents to make, maintain changes and reducing the risk of significant harm to children.
It also means that the responsibility for a family is shared among a team of professionals, reducing the risk placed on any one individual. Instead, social workers, Child and Family Workers, domestic abuse practitioners & officers, recovery workers, mental health practitioners and psychologists all work closely together to support families and keep children safe. All workers participate in group supervision, contribute to analysis and decision making.

Our approach is to support families using a technique of motivational interviewing and CBT which is designed to empower and engage parents to make the positive changes needed to achieve improved outcomes for their children and their own wellbeing. By meeting the complex needs of the adults, we can reduce the risk to children.
