- This is an exciting opportunity to join Calderdale’s Family Intervention Team, which sits within Children and Family Services.
- The Family Intervention Team has a key focus on working with families that have multiple and complex needs such as families that are suffering child poverty, at risk of eviction due to anti-social behaviour, those in financial hardship as well as working with the following additional groups, families of prolific and persistent adult offenders, families involved in substance misuse and families surviving domestic violence.
- This particular post will involve working alongside social workers within the Children Looked After Team to improve outcomes for children and young people by working with parents/ carers/ family networks where early reunification is being considered as part of the child’s care journey.
- The key worker will provide an intensive intervention service operating between the hours of 7am - 8pm with evening and weekend work to families who have complex support needs.
- The role will involve early planning and preparation work with the parent/ carer /family members to explore a wide range of issues that are considered as part of assessment and decision making by Children’s Social Care, exploring issues that led to their child becoming looked after and whether they can demonstrate parental capacity to change for successful reunification.
- Where an assessment identifies that reunification is an option, the worker will work alongside the allocated social worker as part of the plan, this will include preparation work with the parent/carer/family network, parenting support, facilitating increased contact between the children and the family, supporting a phased return home, work around family relationships and supporting family time.
- Experienced in working with ‘hard to reach’ children and families who present challenging behaviour, using an 'outcomes focussed' approach, you should have proven assessment, analytical and reflective skills. You will also bring the ability to work within a framework of ‘support and challenge’.
- Please note, this post will involve evening and weekend work.
- We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment.
