6 months ago

Bridgwater, United Kingdom Somerset County Council Full time

**Why should I choose Somerset Council?**
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Family Front Door Team which is the ‘front door’ for statutory social care and early help services in Somerset. It is a part time position, 22.2 hours a week, based at Express Park Bridgwater, co located with partner agencies. This is a well respected team who triage request for involvement for the Family Intervention Service and work closely with them and social work colleagues.

The Family Front Door is a fast paced and exciting team ensuring that the children and families that we work with receive the right service the first time. Family Front Door Practitioners review Early Help Assessments that are submitted for the Family Intervention Service, gather information in order to assess and make recommendations as to whether this is the required outcome, or alternatively if the family needs to be sign posted to another agency to meet the families needs.

The role will include partnership engagement, offering advice and guidance in implementing Somerset’s continuum of need as identified in the SSCP document “Effective Support for Children & Families” and ensuring the effective operation of the Early Help Assessment.

We recognise the need for continuing professional development and support practitioners with developing their skills and career progression. There are regular CPD sessions held internally which are contributed to by social workers and also external agencies.

**What will I be doing?**
As part of your role, you will respond to request for intervention for the Family Intervention Service for children aged 0-25.

You will be expected to liaise with members of the public and professionals over the telephone in order to gather and assess information to determine what level of intervention is required. You will work on a rota system within the team, which allows for variation and development of skills including duty, consultation and quality assurance work.

**What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?**
You will:

- Champion Early Help in a variety of settings.
- Promote integrated working.
- Provide support, advice and guidance in relation to the Early Help Assessment (EHA) and the Continuum of Need and Intervention.
- Assist in the assessment of need, planning and review of Early Help services
- Form effective working relationships with partners and colleagues.
- Take responsibility for your own work and demonstrate a willingness to learn from others and from experience.
- Understand and adopt anti-discriminatory practice.
- Make decisions and giving advice and guidance when professionals submit Early Help Assessments (EHA) requesting Family Intervention Support for a child or young person.
- Ensure the provision of a duty rota providing advice to a range of front line staff regarding the processes for making referrals, advice on completing an EHA and signposting to early help services available within Somerset.

The role also involves speaking with service users and using feedback from service users to inform decision making regarding referrals and to inform service improvement.

Family Front Door Practitioners also have a responsibility for championing the EHA in multi-agency forums, making necessary amendments to the EHA and ensuring that guidance on Professional Choices is up to date. There is the opportunity to be involved in quality assurance work with partner agencies to help improve the quality of EHA’s being submitted to ensure that children and young people are getting the right service.

**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.
- Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave.
- Staff discounts in gyms.
- Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
- Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
- A Flexible Benefits Scheme via salary sacrifice to obtain a cycle for work and health screenings.
- My Staff Shop offering discounts in shops, online shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets, insurance benefits and more.
