(Fostering Service, Connected Carers Team, Market Place, South Shields)

£23,194 to £34,723 pa (Bar at £27,344 pa)

An exciting employment opportunity has arisen for a family worker to join the growing and developing Connected Carers Team.

South Tyneside Council is committed to supporting children to remain within their birth families and networks, when it is safe for them to do so and also recognises that caring for children in connected care arrangements can be hugely rewarding yet challenging at times. The Connected Carers Team undertakes focussed and specialised assessments of connected carers and delivers tailored support to connected care families.

We are looking for a child focussed, skilled and enthusiastic person to join the service who is committed to:

- Providing timely and effective packages of support to children and connected carers in response to assessed need.
- Contributing to interventions designed to help children benefit from stability in their care arrangements.
- Ensuring that the child is at the centre of all decision making and interventions.
- Participating and contributing to multi-agency assessment, planning and review.
- Working in partnership with children, connected carers and colleagues within the team and from other agencies and organisations.
- Providing individual and collective support to connected carers, which includes maintaining the established support group in place, whilst ensuring this is strengthened, is creative and it is responsive to connected carers’ needs wherever possible.

Staff within the Connected Carers Team work with key partners to develop a shared understanding of the service and to gather feedback to help shape further development.

Please see the attached job description and person specification which provides more detail about the role. If you would like to discuss this post in more detail please contact Lisa Henderson, Practice Manager on (0191) 4244207.

South Tyneside Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment and an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure will be sought along with other relevant pre-employment checks.

Closing date: Noon, 28 April 2023.

Interviews will take place on 15 May 2023.
