Plymouth Learning Partnership (PLP) CIC is a community interest company owned by its cross-phase member schools that provides school services across Plymouth and surrounding districts. The Multi-Agency Support Team (MAST) forms a key component of PLP services to schools for vulnerable children and families: we are based in Lower Compton in the city of Plymouth. The team is growing due to an increasing demand for our services, comprising over 40 staff of a mixture of disciplines who work in a co-ordinated way to provide support for children across a range of settings.

We are looking for someone in this post who is passionate and committed to making a difference in the lives of children and their families, particularly where there is vulnerability and complexity.

You will be working predominantly with families of primary aged children (and occasionally with secondary) and alongside colleagues from a multidisciplinary team, comprising of educational psychologists, counsellors, therapists and social workers. We are a collaborative team committed to sharing professional practice, offering regular supervision, and supporting your professional development.

What is the role?

This position involves providing a dynamic, child-centred support role for parents/carers and families through our multi-agency model. The post will include:

· The skill to be able to see a child/young person/family perspective and have creative thoughts to improve the quality of their lives and experiences.

· Working very closely with other members of the team including psychologists, therapists, counsellors, other family workers and mentors to improve outcomes for children and young people.

· Wider multi-agency working to support children and families.

· The opportunity to be linked to individual school settings, at child, family, and school levels to bring effective change for children and young people.

· Opportunities to work with the wider team and to develop career progression as an educational psychologist, therapist or specialised family support worker.
