**About us**

Camden is building somewhere everyone can thrive, by making our borough the best place to live, work, study and visit. Because, we’re not just home to UK’s fast-growing economy. We’re home to the most important conversations happening today. And we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. **Here’s where you can help decide a better future for us all.**

**The role**

Short breaks provide support and opportunities for children and young people with disabilities to spend time away from their primary carer, taking part in positive activities, while also providing much-needed breaks for the parent/carer.

The purpose of the Short Breaks Practitioner is to undertake regular strengths-based short breaks reviews of social care packages of support for children and young people who have severe to profound disabilities and/or complex health needs. You will work in conjunction with the child and their family to ensure positive outcomes and enable the child to reach their full potential.

The role will involve positively working as part of an integrated member of the Children and Young People Disability Service, providing both practical support and assistance to Social Workers, when setting up short breaks care packages for children, and building relationships with families, carers and providers of services.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and will require an Enhanced DBS.

**About you**

You will have a good working knowledge of the pressures faced by families with children living in socially deprived neighbourhoods as well as the issues faced by/needs of disadvantaged families with children including discrimination. You will also bring your excellent experience of working with children with disabilities and of providing support to disabled children and their families in multi-cultural communities.

**Working for Camden**

We’re ready to welcome your ideas, your views, and your rebellious spirit. **Help us redefine how we’re supporting people**, and we’ll redefine what a career can be.

If that sounds good to you, we’d love to talk.
