Devon, United Kingdom Devon County Council Full time

Join the dynamic team at Devon County Council as we expand our Education Key Worker initiative. We are seeking to fill various positions, including:

  • 1 x Senior Education Key Worker (fixed-term)
  • 6 x Education Key Workers (permanent and fixed-term roles available)
  • 4 x Family Practitioners (fixed-term)

The primary objective of the Education Key Worker Team is to deliver tailored support to children who face challenges in attending school. Our approach involves collaborating with the child, their family, and educational institutions to build rapport, identify obstacles to attendance, and formulate an intervention strategy that empowers all parties to take constructive steps.

Our mission is to foster positive and enduring changes for children and young individuals with special educational needs (SEN) and additional requirements throughout Devon.

The Education Key Worker team collaborates with various organizations to ensure timely access to appropriate services for children, young people, and their families.

We aim to attract and retain skilled professionals who share our vision of an inclusive community where the significance of school attendance is recognized and appreciated.

Please note that these roles may require some flexibility, including evening and weekend hours.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Assist children and young individuals who are experiencing difficulties in attending school to reintegrate and continue their educational journey.
  • Engage with the child to understand their perspectives on attendance barriers, providing individualized support both at home and in educational settings.
  • Establish and nurture connections with the child's school and other relevant agencies to facilitate reintegration through a structured, evidence-based intervention plan.
  • Manage a designated caseload of children and families within a specific geographical area encompassing a cluster of schools, promoting multidisciplinary collaboration.

Successful candidates will possess exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, and the ability to forge relationships with children, young people, and their families, offering support and constructive feedback as necessary. Empathy, patience, strong risk assessment capabilities, and a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by young individuals regarding school attendance are essential.

As this role involves working with children, young people, and families in both home and educational environments, excellent time management skills and an understanding of hybrid working practices are crucial. Applicants must hold a valid driving license and have access to a vehicle for regular business use.
