**Why should I choose Somerset Council?**
Good question.

Well, for a start, we’re a hugely ambitious council, committed to improving lives for the residents, communities and businesses of Somerset.

And that’s why we’re working so hard to build a sustainable organisation with a culture that rewards, values and recognises our staff, and gives everyone here the opportunity to grow and develop, personally and professionally.

If you’re looking for a place where you work truly matters - where YOU truly matter - we might be just right for you.

We also promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.

**What will I be doing?**
We’re working to improve the lives of children in Somerset - and as a **Family Intervention Worker**, you’ll be a key part of that. You will:

- be part of an ambitious multi agency team, working alongside statutory and non-statutory partner agencies to ensure improved and sustainable outcomes for children and young people with disabilities.
- case hold, carry out assessments, set up service provisions, along with offering on-going advice and support, such as parenting and behaviour support as required by the young person and their family.
- carry out reviews of services in place to ensure the service and support continues to meet the young person’s needs.
- undertake specialist training as required to deliver specific interventions to children and their parents/carers, contribute to team learning and training for partner agencies.

**What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?**
We offer ongoing support, training and guidance to help you be the best you can be. But it will really help if you have:

- Experience of working with or knowledge of Children / Young People with Disabilities.
- An understanding of the skills required to engage, assess and plan to support the needs of children, young people and their families.
- An understanding or experience in multi-agency working to safeguard children and young people.
- The ability to work as part of a team as well as being able to work autonomously.
- Organisational skills to manage a case load and ensure that assessments, reviews and plans are completed within timescales.
- Excellent communication skills, attention to detail and a broad range of IT skills with a minimum of GCSE Grade C/Level 4 (or equivalent) in Maths and English.

You will need to be able and willing to travel countywide, including travel outside standard work hours and to areas that are not currently serviced by public transport

We’re proud to be here for the people of Somerset. And that means everyone in Somerset. An important part of this is ensuring that we are as diverse and inclusive as the people and communities we serve.

**What will I be offered in return?**
We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.

We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

- We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
- Staff discounts in gyms.
- Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
