We are really excited to be offering motivated and experienced professionals a unique opportunity to work as a Band 4 Assistant Practitioner located within Norfolk County Council.

This role is an exciting initiative to work within an established partnership alongside Children's social Care colleagues to assess, review, triage, signpost and deliver short term interventions for adults with parental responsibilities. The aim of the role within the collaborative is to achieve the best outcomes for adults who have parental and carer responsibility, for children who are receiving support from Children’s Social Care, and ultimately positively impact the recovery outcomes for the child.

The service is designed to work with families who need specialist or intensive intervention and support to prevent them from escalating from Family Support to Child Protection or becoming Looked After, and to help children return to their family networks where it is safe to do so.

The successful post holder will be responsible for actively participating as a key member of the clinical team for providing quality services for an identified client group under the supervision of a registered professional.

Having undertaken a Foundation Degree level qualification, you will maintain, develop and evidence clinical knowledge, skills and competencies at all opportunities and through the competency framework

You will be expected to deliver care and services within the strategic objectives of the organisation and promote the principles of Recovery. These principles will recognise the need to promote safe practice; value the beliefs and aims of service users and carers; work in partnership and offer meaningful choice; and value social inclusion.

We have strong, established nursing networks coupled with an exceptional leadership team who will ensure you are truly cared for and cared about.

**Why Norfolk and Suffolk?** The people here are warm and welcoming, you’ll never be far from the beautiful coastline or Broads National Park.
