Job Title: Child and Family Support Practitioner

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team at We Manage Jobs (WMJobs) as a Family Practitioner in the Newcastle and Moorlands Children's Disability Service. We are committed to working with partners and families to support children and young people to be safe and secure, to promote physical and emotional well-being, and to help them achieve their full potential within their communities.

About the Role

We have four Children's Disability teams across the county, providing specialist services for children and young people with complex disabilities. As a Family Practitioner, you will work collaboratively with social workers to support children in need, children on child protection plans, and children in care. You will provide transport and support to children and their families to various situations, including school, medical appointments, meetings, and social activities.

Key Responsibilities
  • Work with children with disabilities and their families to support children to achieve improved outcomes, underpinned by a restorative practice model.
  • Provide intensive support to children and families to enable them to remain together or, where appropriate, to support reunification of families.
  • Work with children and families, including contributing to assessments and providing practical support, which may include moving and handling, personal care, assistance with feeding, behaviour management, and administration of medication following training by a qualified professional and within guidance of an agreed care plan and risk assessment.
  • Undertake flexible, creative, and imaginative approaches to offering support to children, young people, their families, and carers.
Requirements

We are looking for a highly dedicated and skilled individual with a minimum standard of NVQ3 in respect of working with children and their families or equivalent. You will also need knowledge and experience of supporting children with disabilities and experience of direct work with children, their families, and carers in a statutory or voluntary agency which provides services to vulnerable children and their families.

What We Offer

We have a real sense of community spirit that brings our people together. We aim to create a supportive working environment where employees can achieve their full potential and maintain a healthy work-life balance. As an Authority, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people/vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
