Family Group Conference Co-ordinator

2 weeks ago


Lancashire, United Kingdom Lancashire County Council Full time

Salary £32,020-£36,298 Per annum | Permanent, Part Time, 30 hours per week | Pro Rata

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a part time position as a Family Group Conference Co-ordinator, to join the busy Lancashire County Council's FGC team. A challenging yet satisfying role. This post is part of a county wide service across Lancashire. No two days are the same within the FGC Service. If you enjoy fast-paced work, strengths-based practice, and working with children and families to identify solutions to their current needs, then this is the team for you.

Co-ordinators will support children to participate in their Family Group Conference. This process promotes children remaining within their own families and community. The postholder will demonstrate an ability to relate to children, young people and their families and professionals in a positive, professional manner and to work with respect and sensitivity at a pace to suit the needs of families.

The aim of a family group conference is to give families and their children/young people a central role in decision making. Every family is unique with its own culture, personalities, personal dynamics, and history. All families come up against problems from time to time and these may be able to be sorted out with help from relatives and friends with support from appropriate services.

The decision makers at a family group conference are the family members/kinship network and not the professionals. Together they plan and decide how to resolve the situation. This empowers families to make the best plan possible for their children.

Flexible working is essential which includes evenings, to meet the needs of children and young people and their families.

Please ensure you have uploaded and attached your supporting statement to evidence how you meet the criteria for the role. The panel may be unable to shortlist you for interview without this evidence.

**Closing date: 19th February 2023**

**Proposed interviews week commencing 27th February 2023**

You will be required to provide a car for use in connection with the duties of this post and must be insured for business use. However, we may consider you if you cannot drive because of a disability.

In return Lancashire County Council offers a range of benefits, which can be found on LCC Vacancies website.
