Edge of Care Service Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a new service for children and their families in Stockton. We are inviting applicants with a range of skills to work creatively with families to engage hard to reach families.

We value the power and impact of good relationships in making a difference in children's lives. Honesty, transparency, and trust underpin all that we do, and we are committed to a relationship-based approach in everything we do.

We believe that children are best cared for by their families, in their communities. However, sometimes families need support and intervention to stay together. For this reason, we are investing in a dedicated service to support our families when they need it most and prevent family relationship breakdown.

The service will work alongside children, their families, and other services to provide a rapid response to children and their families. We will deliver intensive interventions to support children to remain in their home where it is safe to do so.

As a Senior Family Worker, you will work alongside children, their families, and professionals in their lives to overcome barriers that are threatening to break down a family. You will be supported by others to develop and enable this, knowing you are making a difference.

We offer an excellent total reward package, including:

  • A competitive salary of up to £31,364 (plus pending pay award)
  • 27 days annual leave per year rising to 32 with 5 years service (plus bank holidays)
  • Generous Pension Scheme through the LGPS with ability to pay extra and plan for retirement
  • Access to a number of other employee benefits
