We are seeking applicants for the role of Outreach Support Practitioner who will build relationships with children, young people and their families, together with community partners, to identify and address emerging need as early as possible.

We are looking for someone who shares our passion for evolving the way help is delivered to families, so that more families are helped more quickly, in places where they are through a flexible offer of support that has relationships at its heart.

If you can build relationships with children, young people and their families that motivate and empower them to effect change, have a passion for play, youth work and early intervention and can work creatively and collaboratively with universal services, community, voluntary and faith based partners then we would love to hear from you.

The post requires evening work.

This is a new role within the service providing a unique opportunity to build an accessible and flexible family support service that meets children, young people and their families where they are in the community, modelling a ‘think family’ approach amongst youth and play colleagues and wider universal services.

Our vision is for children and young people to be safe, able to overcome difficulties and to form secure relationships through their childhood and into adulthood.

Providing an integrated offer within three locality-based teams, each locality has a universal offer of help, a rapid response to families and wrapping around universal services to manage emerging needs as early as possible. This is in addition to case holding interventions which are flexible to support families with multiple complex needs and short-term help in venues where families are.

1. Provide an accessible, rapid response to children, young people and families who need help. This could include offering a short piece of direct work to the child, young person and/or family, coordinating the family plan, advice and guidance or linking families in with community resources to create improved individual and family functioning and reduce need for targeted or specialist services.

2. Based in community venues that family’s access such as schools and GPs to enable easy access, reduce stigma and wraparound the services that are already in place for the family.

3. Available when and where the need is. This will likely include early mornings, evenings and weekend work.

4. Work with an appropriate level of professional curiosity in order to ensure that problems are identified early within play and youth settings and safeguarding isprioritised.

5. Deliver parenting programmes according to the needs of the local area.

6. Provide a warm handover to family practitioners, Targeted Youth Support or other appropriate services when it is apparent that a child, young person or family’s needsare complex or require longer term focused work.

7. Establish effective professional relationships with key partners such as health, employment services, health services, schools and housing.

8. Balance the need to spend time with children, young people and families with maintaining accurate record keeping that demonstrates work completed and progress towards outcomes.

9. Maintain a good knowledge of support and resources available to children, young people and families in the locality, including through the voluntary and community sector, faith-based organisations, universal services, training and employment services, in order to help children, young people and families, build their networks and sustain improvements.

10. Working with appropriate services, support parents/carers to move closer to/into employment, education or training.

11. Understand the disadvantages faced by some children, young people and their families in the locality and work to reduce inequality.

12. Work in accordance with local and national child protection and safeguarding procedures and adhere to London Borough of Islington policies and procedures.

13. Ensure that support is trauma informed and rooted in motivational practice.
