An exciting opportunity has arisen for two full time therapeutic intervention workers to join the RMBC Empower Service, to work with professionals, carers, children and young people within the Kinship team section of the team. These are two new posts, funded to provide a support service for all Kinship carers and young people, to assess need and where appropriate, commission therapeutic interventions with funding provided by the Adoption Support Fund.

Empower Services provide dedicated specialist therapeutic services to kinship families, children who are cared for by foster carers and also birth families as part of the reunification pathway. The team aims to promote a greater understanding by carers of children’s emotional and developmental health and their attachment and trauma issues. The models used include trauma and attachment based theories such as Thera-play, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, DBT, family therapy and mentalisation to name but a few.

The post holder will undertake assessments of need, offer support, advice and therapeutic consultations and deliver training. The post holder will develop the support service to Rotherham’s Kinship carers - including close collaboration with our Early Help offer (Rotherham has Kinship navigators within Early Help). Experience is required in assessment, facilitating meetings with professionals/carers and leading therapeutic networks to support placements.
