**Neighbourhood Group Workers (Grade 4)
An exciting opportunity has arisen in Preston to appoint two permanent full time 37 hours/week Neighbourhood Group Workers Workers.
Neighbourhood Group Workers are operational frontline delivery staff principally linked to the early help element of service delivery teams distributed across the 5 ICP footprints incorporating the District area groups; Lancaster, Wyre/Fylde, Preston, Chorley/South Ribble, West Lancashire, Hyndburn/ Ribble Valley, Rossendale, Burnley and Pendle.
Post holders will be primarily involved in the preparation, delivery and evaluation of group based programmes delivered through family focussed Neighbourhood Centres. They will ensure that individual and group needs are identified and responded to and that their work is appropriately recorded. They will use agreed tools to measure the progress made by individuals and groups towards substantial and sustained change e.g. radars. They will escalate any identified needs of families/individuals to Family Support Workers within their team where they may benefit from more targeted one to one support.
Teams will be identified with an appropriate skill mix to ensure that programmes can be tailored to meet the different needs of children, young people and parents and can accommodate a variety of delivery methods, including drop-ins, regularised open and closed groups, activity and evidence based programmes.
Neighbourhood Group Workers will operate mainly (but not exclusively) during the daytime and twilight operational hours which normally could potentially range between 8am and up until around 6.30pm. Flexible working is required and some occassional involvement in evening and weekend delivery sessions may be required to meet the needs of families.
Duties and responsibilities will be pro-rata to capacity in circumstances where
Neighbourhood Group Work staff members are part time workers, where it is proposed that the smallest part time post in terms of hours will normally be 22.2hrs per week, with some at 29.6hrs and also full time options (37hrs).
Neighbourhood Group Workers will be line managed by the appropriate Senior Family Support Worker
**Please ensure you have uploaded and attached your supporting statement to evidence how you meet the criteria for the role. The panel may be unable to shortlist you for interview without this evidence.
In return Lancashire County Council offers a range of benefits, which can be found on LCC Vacancies website.
