Futures Matters Intensive Support Worker
2 weeks ago
Job Introduction
The Intensive Prevention Service forms part of Futures Matters which is made up of differing teams who support children and families of Staffordshire. Within the service area there is the Intensive Prevention Service, Youth offending Service, Saplings and Prevention, Family Group Conference Service, Breathing Space and the Child Exploitation Team.
The Intensive Prevention Service provides intense support to children who are on the edge of care to remain living at home, we also support young people to return home following a period of being cared for by us, as we believe children are best cared for by their own family where it is safe to do so. The underpinning methodology is solution focussed drawing upon relational and strength-based models of intervention targeted to meet the specific needs of the family.
The Intensive Support Workers are responsible for supporting young people (8-18 years of age) and their parents to develop a tailored package of support, drawing upon other resources within the team as appropriate to remain or return home to their family.
The team will work in partnership with Social Work teams, Family Support Teams and other professionals including the 3rd Sector. The team is based in Stafford but works across the county and on occasion outside of Staffordshire.
It is important that applicants have significant experience of working with children/young people and their families within their own homes delivering a variety of interventions/direct work to address presenting issues.
This is a fabulous opportunity to work within a passionate, creative, supportive, and highly motivated team who make a real difference and be apart of a team whom have a range of specialist skills (e.g., NVR, CBT, Solution Focussed and more) including a Young Persons Substance Misuse Worker. This means we can engage the right support and external services, in a tailored way, to suit the needs of each young person and their family.
This is a 12 month secondment/fixed term post as a result of a member of staff taking a career break.
