Our vision for the children and young people of Blackburn with Darwen is that they will grow to have a happy, healthy life and experience success and overcome challenges. To achieve this we will work with our communities, with our partners and our children, young people and their families to ensure that children get the right help at the right time by building on their strengths and the strengths of their family.

There’s no doubt, in order to achieve this vision we need great people working together to achieve the very best we can. We are proud of the team spirit engendered right across our service and, our visible and approachable management and leadership team, and we know that having supportive colleagues around you is what makes the difference - so we really want to encourage you to join us and become an essential part of our service.

The implementation of CADS allowed us an exciting opportunity to develop the offer of early help for those referrals where social work intervention is not appropriate. As a CADSSO you will contribute to the ongoing development of that offer. You will provide early help advice, support and guidance, undertake CAF assessments and provide time-limited interventions where appropriate. It is vital that you have a good working knowledge of local support services and experience of working with children and families.

As a minimum, a relevant NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) qualification in an associated field i.e Child Care, Youth Work, Working with Children and Young People is an essential requirement of the post.
