St Helens, United Kingdom St. Helens Council Full time

**Job Description**:
We are St Helens Borough Council
With our ILACS inspection now over and an increasingly stable workforce it’s a great time to join us
Located in the heart of the Northwest close to Liverpool, Manchester and Lancashire, St Helens is a modernising Council which is passionate and ambitious for the children and families we support, our communities and our workforce. As part of our transformation journey, we continue to build on our progress and put children firmly at the centre of our care. We can only do this because of our highly valued, skilled, and supported workforce.
Making a Difference as a Family Intervention Worker.
We are seeking to recruit Family Intervention Workers to an existing stable and experienced team, within the Families Staying Together Service. The service aim is to support the most vulnerable children and families in St Helens and works closely with all teams within Children’s Services, supporting those children at risk of becoming a Child We Look After.
The post will be 37 hours per week, and you will be required to work on a flexible basis (including early mornings, evenings, and weekends).
The team takes a holistic approach to support families where crime, anti-social behaviour, school attendance, domestic violence, substance misuse, and poor parenting are common problems. Family Intervention Workers offer intensive, practical support to families, and will address their underlying support needs and enable them to access appropriate services and opportunities.
The focus of this role is to work in partnership with families and other agencies to identify and address the often complex issues that families face and reduce the risk of issues and problems escalating. You will provide and co-ordinate intensive and structured support and direct intervention to families to help them address and change their behaviour on an outreach basis.
The work is sometimes emotionally demanding, but always rewarding. Flexible, positive and willing to learn, you'll be capable of communicating with people from all walks of life in a wide range of situations, remaining calm in a crisis and adapting to constantly changing situations and priorities.
To be successful in this role, experience of providing services to children and/or families with complex needs is essential, along with good record-keeping skills, the ability to construct coherent reports and contribute to and complete assessments as required. Strong mediation/negotiation skills and the ability to work in an inclusive and non-discriminatory manner is a must, as is working effectively with other professionals and organisations.
NVQ Level 3 in health, education, social care, youth work or equivalent is essential.
This Authority is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This is an exciting opportunity for you to utilise existing skills and develop new ones.
You will receive continuous support, development, and career progression opportunities on your journey with us.
This is a hybrid position with some home worker; however the post will require you to be based at our offices in St Helens and be able to attend the St Helens area regularly as part of your work.
