It will also involve direct family intervention using systemic approaches, supporting return home transition or supporting professionals to deliver activities. The approach will follow AfC’s social work practice model, Signs of Safety, agreed quality standards and operating procedures. This role will represent AfC at operational and strategic multi agency and others meetings as appropriate.

The post holder will hold clear professional boundaries and set realistic goals with families and record all interventions effectively with a strong focus on putting children and young people first in decision making and interventions. AfC will expect the post holder to undertake continued professional development to drive improvements and success across all functions of the role.
