Each Targeted Support Team consists of Family Workers, Child and Family Centre workers, Young People’s Worker’s, Senior Transitions Advisors, Transitions Advisors, Client Researchers and managers. The team provides early intervention support to reduce the risk of harm and reduce escalation of problems to support keeping families together and achieve positive outcomes.
The role of Young People’s Worker (YPW) is an 18.5 hour post, fixed term until April 2025, based at Hereward Hall, March supporting the March, Chatteris and Whittlesey Targeted Support Team.
