**An exciting opportunity for a **dynamic, innovative professional who will work collaboratively with key multi-agency partners, children/young people (CYP) and their families. This role will be particularly attractive for someone who enjoys working collaboratively with other agencies to make sure we 'get it right' for children, young people and their families.**

The Keyworking Programme is an exciting new initiative that will transform the support mechanisms for children and young people with a learning disability, autism or both. This includes those who face multiple vulnerabilities such as looked after and adopted children, and children and young people in transition between services.

The service is being developed as a community multi-disciplinary model which offers easy accessibility for identified children, young people, families and carers. The service model was developed in close consultation with families, carers and young people and they are at the heart of its implementation and development.

This is not a clinical role as such but strives to navigate and co-ordinate the teams around the service user to bring about therapeutic intervention that is strengths-focused, evidence-based and tailored to meet the needs of the child/young person and their family/carer. To actively assess the need and delivery of safe and effective interventions for CYP and families in communities, working to avoid hospital admissions and manage complex risk.
