NewcastleunderLyme, United Kingdom Staffordshire County Council Full time

Although we’re already rated as ‘Good’ by OFSTED, we’re determined to uphold the highest standards and drive continual improvement and learning. That’s why we’ve recently gone through an exciting transformation, underpinned by a restorative practice model, which focuses on keeping families together through a community-based approach. If you’ve not worked in this way before, don’t worry - we’ll give you full training to bring you up to speed.

Working with us means collaborating across our different teams, and sharing best practice, knowledge, and experience to continually improve the way we do things. Support is important, as we work in a big county with some diverse challenges - but together we can meet all kinds of needs and demands.

We know you’ll want to continually develop in your role and potentially progress your career and that why we have created a great training and development opportunities ensuring your individual growth here at Staffordshire.

Our Family Practitioners are key workers for the children and families we support. In this role you’ll be:

- leading on early help assessments and plans
- working together with social workers to support children in need, children on child protection plans and children in care
- contributing to parenting assessments, supporting mediation, crisis prevention, conflict resolution and Life Story Work
- supporting on the completion of accurate documentation, reports and records relating to work you do with children, young people and their families

And through all this great work you do, you’ll be supporting children and families, with a restorative practice approach, helping them stay together where possible.

You’ll need to:

- Have an NVQ Level 3 related to working with children and families OR relevant experience working with children and families
- Be flexible with working hours as there will be occasions where evening work may be needed, and we’d need you to work 1 in every 7 weekends
- Have a current UK driving licence and vehicle

But above all, you’ll bring the desire to work with children and families to give them the right support, at the right time with the aim of keeping families together where it’s safe to do so.
