**International Sponsorship**- this role is **not**open to international sponsorship.
Children and Family Wellbeing Service (CFW) are recruiting a Family Time Worker based in our Chorley Team.
We are looking to recruit enthusiastic, self-motivated and passionate staff to supervise and support family time sessions to a high standard, supporting parents to ensure the sessions are safe and child focused.
Family Time workers will supervise family time in relation to the provision of designated supervised contact between parents and children. This provision will focus on children under Children Act Section 20, Interim Care Orders and the prescribed arrangements for the family time contact.
Post holders will plan, in conjunction with the allocated Social Worker and Neighbourhood Senior Family Support Worker, the arrangements for Family Time. They will then facilitate that Family Time in designated settings, enabling children and young people to have positive interactions with their parents/carers during their period of separation until a decision regarding their future is made. Family Time Workers provide the required supervision of these arrangements and undertake suitable observation, process assessment, and recording of these contacts as defined within standardised operating procedures and in accordance with agreed timescales. Family Time Workers will maintain appropriate liaison with the family’s designated social worker to ensure continuity of information sharing and engage in appropriate planning and review of the Family Time offer to each family, including arrangements around the progression and reduction of Family Time at key milestones. They will process and record details of the Family Time they deliver, using standardised procedures and agreed IT systems in accordance with agreed policies.
Post holders will participate in the development of the assessment of risk in conjunction with the allocated Social Worker and their Neighbourhood Senior Family Support Worker. They will use this risk assessment to deliver an appropriate response to delivering Family Time in relation to how Family Time is received in each family situation, whether this is individualised or in a group situation with other families, or if the risk is extremely low, in a wider early help group setting.
Post holders will observe and make recommendations to the designated Social Worker and Senior Family Support Worker in relation to new emerging needs and unforeseen issues arising from the Family Time delivery, seeking guidance from these colleagues and making practical decisions within closely defined policies and procedural guidance. Family Time Workers will build positive relationships with parents and children and build mutual trust and respect.
Supporting the service in the delivery and continuous improvement of Early Help Services for children, young people, and families in line with the vision for Children and Families in Lancashire developed by the Children and Families Partnership Board which states:
**Children, young people and their families are safe, healthy and achieve their full potential.**
Our Family Time Workers receive training and shadowing opportunities throughout their induction.
**Closing date**:Sunday 2nd March 2025
**Interview Date**:13th/14th March 2025
