- Delivery of accredited systemic practice across the whole workforce within the Social Care department. This is delivered in partnership with the Institute of Family Therapy.
- Two DfE funded Innovation Programmes focused on trying new ideas and changing how we work.

We offer onsite subsidised car parking, easily accessible within the M25, A12, A406 and A127.

**About the Job**

**Homeless Families Coordinator**

Our primary responsibility within the Assessment team and this role is promotion of better understanding of the nature of issues causing homelessness and the potential longer term impact for children in these families. The families we assess often present with a range of complex issues. An essential part of our approach is understanding intergenerational factors affecting parental capacity and using our systemic model of practice to build resilience within families.

We promote a hybrid model of working for our social care staff, with a flexible approach involving working from our town hall campus/hubs. In this role, you are expected to work from our town hall campus when you are expected to come into the office for team meetings and other development days - and at the request of your manager. We are encouraging increased face to face working for teams as we know how important this is and all meetings with children and family take place face to face.

Our services are diverse, and we have exciting and stimulating opportunities for everyone and various career pathways you can explore. No two days are ever the same, as you’ll be working with a number of children, young people and families who are all facing different and at times complex situations.

**About You**
- Substantial post-qualification experience as a social worker (minimum three years), including child protection work.
- Experience of working with children and families including complex assessments and statutory work.
- Ability to offer specialist advice and guidance on homelessness to the Children’s Services workforce. Knowledge and expertise of the factors that increase risk of homelessness, and signs of vulnerability.
- Good and current knowledge of the national and local developments regarding housing, homelessness and no recourse to public funds, and the likely impact of these.
