**Keeping in Touch (KiT) Practitioner**

**Up to 37 hours per week / Various locations available**

**Dorset**

**£21,968 - £23,194 pro rata**

Join our newly established team of experienced workers with a wealth of skill and knowledge. All staff within the services are dedicated to building relationships with the children and families we are working with - supporting and facilitating keeping in touch for our children in care.

The keeping in touch (KIT) practitioners are based out of three localities in the North, South and East of the county to ensure equity in services delivery to our children. Our KIT practitioners are supported through regular supervision and team meetings by a well-established management team consisting of a Kit operational co-ordinator and team manager who report into the Services manager for Corporate parenting, permanence, and care leavers.

The KIT practitioner's primary role is to supervise keeping in touch sessions whilst Dorset Council are in proceedings with the children and families we are working with. Our services then look to support keeping in touch occurring in a more natural way after proceedings have concluded and step back allowing for other family members and or professionals to take more of a lead if required.

**What you will be doing**

The role requires our KIT practitioners to work collaboratively with others and their supervised keeping in touch reports will form part of assessments completed by the social work teams. Our KIT practitioners are key in promoting the safety, health, and wellbeing of our children in care.

You will be required to keep succinct timely records of their Keeping in touch sessions, which are input onto MOSAIC, our computer system for recording. You will be required to build professional working relationship quickly and be able to manage complex situations.

**About you**

You will be over the age of 18 and:

- have the skills and aptitude to work with young people and their families in a variety of environments; indoors in the family home or a contact centre, in the community in parks or leisure activities
- be dependable and reliable and committed to delivering a high quality services to our children and families.
- you may already be employed in the child care or people work environment.

It is important that you have:

- Experience of or a real interest in working with children and young people;
- The potential to build positive professional relationships and earn trust;
- The ability to think creatively and respond to changing situations;
- Energy and patience.
