- You will build effective relationships with families, children, and schools to provide practical support such as helping children get to school, financial assistance, and helping families negotiate with schools.
- It will be key for you to liaise with a variety of partners, such as schools, DWP and Families Plus, to identify families requiring additional support, and provide practical support both within the home and within schools.
- You will report back to supervisors with any safeguarding concerns when necessary.

**What we need from you**:

- It is required that you are qualified at NVQ 3 or equivalent in a relevant discipline or working towards an appropriate qualification related to the provision of services to children and young people.

- It is essential that you have good communication and relationship building skills to work with families needing additional support.

- What’s special here is the strength of the** team ethos**. We are a relatively small local authority, so managers know staff well. They can plan their services to ensure teams have **manageable caseloads** and have effective supervision so **feel supported** to make decisions which are right for the children and young people they work with.
- We are **committed to safeguarding** and promoting the safety and welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. Ensuring all our staff are given right skills, knowledge and support to recognise and respond effectively to potential abuse or neglect.

Our teams at South Gloucestershire Council are making a real difference to the lives of people who live, work, and learn here.
- We're building and shaping communities which people are proud of
- We're working with the most vulnerable in our community to help them achieve what they want in life.
- We're investing in our schools to ensure every child and young person in South Gloucestershire achieves their full potential.
