St Austell, United Kingdom Cornwall Council Full time

**Family Worker - 6 positions available**

Family Workers work as part of multi-disciplinary team when children, young people and their families need co-ordinated support at times of increased need and difficulty this is within both our Social Care & Early Help Teams

In Cornwall we are committed to doing everything we can to support families. We take a relational and strengths-based approach. We are an outstanding authority with a proven track record of building on family strengths and drawing on the support of the wider family. This has been achieved in the context of Cornwall being the second most deprived area of Northern Europe

Family Workers carry out assessments with children and families (-9months to 18 years ), devise plans of intervention and undertake direct work. To do this you will be trained to utilise a range of evidence-based approaches including Signs of Safety, the Family Partnership Model & Motivational Interviewing and will deliver accredited Parenting Programmes. Cornwall Council have a good training programme and excellent career progression.

There are a number of full time and part time positions across MID Cornwall:
Restormel - covering St Austell,The Clays and Newquay areas

2 x Full time (37 hours) and 1 x 18.5 hour post based in the Social Work family and Assessment team
1 x Full time posts (37 hours) in the Early Help Team

Carrick - Covering Truro, Perranporth, Penryn and Falmouth areas

1 x Full time (37 hours) and 1 x 3 Days (22.2 hours) in the Early Help Team

All roles involve travelling so having access to a vehicle is essential.

This is a public/customer-facing role, where the statutory English language requirement for public sector workers applies.

Fairness and inclusion are at the heart of our vision for Cornwall. In order to best serve our communities, we are striving to achieve a diverse workforce that is inclusive of all backgrounds, cultures and identities; e.g. race, disability, sex, gender, age, religion and sexual orientation. We are an equal opportunities and Disability Confident employer, and we will assess applicants on their merits.

Cornwall Council is committed to safeguarding and following safer recruitment principles to help make sure our staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children, young people and adults at risk. It’s a vital part of creating a safe and positive environment and making a commitment to keeping all service users safe from harm.

Whilst the location/work-base for this role has been specified our evolving ways of working means that the role may require you to also work remotely (e.g. from home/other locations). We will discuss this with you during the recruitment process.
