Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, United Kingdom London Borough of Sutton Full time

About the Role

As a Family Support Practitioner, you will work with young people aged 10-17 years old who are at risk of coming into contact with the criminal justice service. The focus is on prevention and supporting the child and their family holistically to sustain positive outcomes.

You will hold a caseload of young people referred into the service and carry out timely assessments to identify what support is needed.

You will create intervention plans to support your work with them within a multi-agency environment, working with partners and hearing the child's voice.

You will carry out regular interventions with the child and their family, meeting the needs of the assessment. This may include home visits, activities, or structured work to support them to reach their potential.

You will build professional and positive relationships with the child and their family to enable change and prevent offending behaviour.

You will also carry out group work activities as required in schools and/or in the community with young people and their families.

About Us

The Youth Justice Service sits within early help, the adolescent team, and the schools team. You will be based at the Quad in Carshalton as part of a vibrant, innovative, and caring service that values its staff and strives to be an outstanding service for young people.

You will benefit from flexible and hybrid working arrangements and a trusting environment with managers who understand the needs of the service as well as individuals.

The purpose is to work with young people as part of early intervention to support them by building positive relationships and meeting the needs of our out-of-court service.

You will be expected to work intensively with your caseload and manage your work accordingly, writing up assessments, plans, and reviews for all cases.

About You

We are looking for dynamic, passionate, and creative staff who have experience of working with challenging young people. You will be able to engage with children with a trauma background who may not be trusting or initially keen to work with you.

Your engagement skills will be flexible and adaptable, and we need staff who are willing to persist where needed to gain the trust of families.

Ideally, you will have experience of whole-family working and be able to work with parents and carers too, as well as coordinate multi-agency meetings and Team Around the Family (TAF) meetings when needed.

Your writing and analytical skills will be good, and you will be able to write assessments taking into account the whole family's needs, as well as those of the child, and identify what needs to change alongside positives.

Our Offer To You

As an organisation that values and nurtures talent, we're committed to helping you fulfil your potential and will offer you a supportive, friendly, and collaborative environment to grow and develop your career and skills.

We're constantly striving to improve our ways of working so putting your ideas across – however big or small – will be fully encouraged and supported by your colleagues and our dynamic and experienced management team.
