**Section**: Families, Qualities & Commissioning
**Job Ref**: APP-22-021
**Job type**: Full-time 35 hours
**Closing date**:Monday 27th February 2023

**Salary**: £21 808.80 per annum

Family Thrive values apprentices within the service and for this reason, has developed an apprenticeship program that provides various opportunities to learn, develop and put ‘theory into practice’. The program includes opportunities to observe Family Practitioner work in different settings, to co-work with families before being able to work with families as an independent worker.

Family Thrive is the integrated targeted early intervention service in Lewisham. A relatively new service that works holistically with families to set goals and help them achieve it through targeted interventions to improve outcomes.

We recognise that investing in effective, targeted support enables families to draw on their own resources and overcome challenges. In the London Borough of Lewisham, we have high aspirations for all our children across our diverse communities and put local people at the heart of decision-making, working in partnership with them to provide quality services that are responsive, effective, and efficient.

**The role**
Apprentice Family Practitioners in Family Thrive will learn how to:

- undertake Early Help Assessments;
- develop family led plans;
- facilitate Team Around Family meetings;
- facilitate Family Network Meetings;
- work in multi-disciplinary settings; and

Apprentice Family Practitioners will be ‘buddied’ with an experienced Family Practitioner and line supervised by a Senior Family Practitioner, with overall oversight by a Hub Manager. Apprentice Family Practitioners will receive supervision and be invited to attend the Reflective Groups facilitated by the Senior Therapists in the service

**Location**
We are based across Lewisham, with the main office in Catford SE6. As an Apprentice Family Practitioner you will be based in one of the 4 hub areas in the borough, working across family homes, Schools, Children’s Centres, or other community settings.

Whilst the service is primarily community based, we operate a hybrid approach whereby you may be required to work both in the office and from home as determined by service requirements.

**What we’re looking for**
To be eligible for this position on the Apprenticeship programme you must
- Be over the age of 18 (there is no upper age limit)
- Be a Lewisham borough resident (the electoral register will be used to verify this information)
- Have the minimum number of qualifications required as stated in the relevant job description
- Present proof of grades (9-4) A*-C in both Maths and English or the equivalent level 2 functional skills
- Not currently enrolled onto any other apprenticeship, or another DfE funded FE/HE programme
- Undertake the Disclosure and Barring Service process and provide the result
- Work for at least 35 hours per week (including study days)

About You:

- Passionate about developing skills to deliver high quality, outcome focussed support to children, young people, and their families
- An ability to work inclusively and collaboratively to successfully build relationships and partnerships, both internally and externally, and the ability to establish trust and credibility.
- Willingness to learn about barriers and how to dismantle them to give families a positive experience and genuine hope for the future.
- A creative and solution focussed approach to challenges and a commitment to continued development of skills and expertise
- A keen interest in learning about effective practice, child and adolescent development, family support models and evidence-based practice as well the importance of contextual working and environmental factors.
- Motivation to embrace anti-discriminatory and anti-racist practice
