Norwich, United Kingdom Norfolk County Council Full time

**Intensive Support Worker | 8802 | Permanent Contract | 37 hours per week | £31,537 to £33,699 per annum | Grade G | Norwich**

Are you passionate about providing children and their families with the guidance and support they need to live within the community and thrive within the family home?

We are looking to recruit a dedicated, resilient Support Worker to join our Family Help team covering South Norfolk, with the aim to enable more children to remain at home safely with their families. This role is based at County Hall in Norwich, covering the South Norfolk locality.

As an Intensive Support Worker, you will undertake targeted, evidence-based and timely/time-limited interventions with families, working alongside Social Workers and Family Practitioners to promote safety and well-being and prevent escalation of need. You will embrace Norfolk Vital Signs for children as an approach that underpins your work with children and families.

You will need to have a minimum of three years’ experience of working directly with children and families.

You will be confident delivering interventions one-to-one, or on a group basis, with children, young people and parents/caregivers.

In order to support families when they most need it, Intensive Support Workers work a 37 hour week, on a Monday to Sunday contract. You will be required - on occasion - to work outside of normal office working hours, including evenings, mornings and weekends.

You will be required to travel as part of your duties and you may be required, at short notice, to transport young people between a variety of rural and urban locations.

This is a great opportunity to join a new and innovative service providing the best possible support to children and families.

The interview process will consist of a competency-based interview. If this is successful, a further safe care (Warner) interview will follow.

These are some benefits you can enjoy by working for Norfolk County Council:

- Competitive salary
- Generous holiday entitlement
- Health and Wellbeing services including fast-track physiotherapy and a free counselling service
- Flexible working opportunities including flexi-time, part time, remote and hybrid working - dependant on your job role and business need.
- Financial benefits such as:

- ‘ Norfolk Rewards’ our employee discounts programme which helps you save money on almost anything, from everyday groceries and clothes, to holidays, new technology, gym membership, trips to the cinema and days out.
- A Blue Light card for Fire Service and Social Care Workers
- Relocation expenses (where applicable)
- An advance of your expenses if you travel for work
- Local Government Pension Scheme with generous employer contribution, life assurance, death in service payments and dependants’ pensions.
- Tax efficient ways of getting extra pension and new bikes

Please ensure when submitting your covering letter, you evidence fully how you meet the essential and desirable criteria of the role.

Before you apply, we recommend reading the full **Job Description and Person Specification**to help you demonstrate you meet the criteria. You can also find information on our Terms and Conditions here.
