**Job Purpose**

This role will provide support for families across the continuum of need. This service aims to assist families in recognising and accessing relevant support networks which will enable them to enjoy and achieve a good standard of family life and wellbeing without the need for input from Children’s Social Care. Working within a supportive management structure, you will be responsible for the delivery of ‘whole family’ assessments and interventions using a ‘Team Around the Family’ framework. Through the use of regular review and management oversight, you will support the progression and achievement of ‘outcomes based’ family plans. Your work will be highly collaborative in nature, relational in approach and heavily influenced by principles of systemic practice. The service maintains commitment to the delivery of high quality support through intensive partnership working with families and universal provisions. As a keyworker, you will navigate and broker families’ access to a range of community services including health, education and third sector provisions. Keyworkers work closely alongside locality management, to achieve the delivery of high quality support for families. You will receive regular case supervision to support and guide the progression of your work with families. In addition, you will benefit from exposure to peer input and influences through your engagement in ‘mixed locality’ reflective discussion groups held on a monthly basis. As a service, we are continually seeking to develop our offer and input to children, young people and their families. We will support you to identify and access opportunities which promote your continuous professional development and enable you to engage with a wide breadth knowledge and learning.

**About You**

**Essential Requirements**
Experience of undertaking effective decision making that leads to improved outcomes and reduces the risk of safeguarding issues.
Knowledge and understanding of systemic and strengths-based approaches
Extensive knowledge about the wide range of Early Help support available across the continuum of need ranging from universal through to targeted services.
Thorough knowledge and understanding of the research and evidence in relation to child development including issues affecting babies, children and young people’s vulnerability and resilience or sound knowledge in relation to the research.
Knowledge of statutory services and relevant children’s legislation including a high awareness of child protection and safeguarding thresholds, indicators of need and procedures.

**Benefits**
- You will be valued for your skills and expertise, supported by the team of experienced professionals, as well as the management at Croydon Council, one of the largest employers in the borough. We also offer:

- Highly competitive compensation package
- 29-31 days (grade equivalent) annual leave in addition to Bank Holidays and option to purchase more
- A pension scheme with an average employer contribution of 20%
- Continuing Professional Development - genuine opportunities to grow, develop and specialise in your career
- Management development programmes
- Investment into your wellbeing
- Access to Employee Discount scheme with a range of programmes (Cycle Benefit Scheme, GymFlex, Retail Discounts and more)
- We promote flexible & hybrid working arrangements where possible to support a healthy work-life balance

Closing date 2nd June at 11:59pm
