You will be confident in liaising with families, colleagues, and professionals within a multi-agency environment.
You will possess excellent IT skills and have the ability to meet deadlines and to maintain and process accurate and timely records.
You will be responsible for monitoring and collating Health and Safety returns and Risk Assessments for Family Hubs.
