Devon, United Kingdom Place2Be Full time

About The Role

This Family Practitioner role sits within the Devon team and delivers a well-established and valued service delivery to our partner schools across North and Mid Devon. You will work closely with school-based colleagues to identify suitable parent-child dyads to engage in Personalised Individual Parenting Training (PIPT) and also offering parent workshops and coffee mornings as appropriate to identified school needs.

The role of the Family Practitioner is to deliver a range of targeted individual and group interventions with parents, carers, children and young people within a school setting to improve outcomes for children and their families. This role, in line with Place2Be ethos, places an emphasis on early intervention.

You will work in partnership with parents to strengthen parental capacity and family relationships, especially with relation to managing challenging behaviour, and to increase parental engagement in their local school community and in their children's education and development. The role will include a combination of face-to-face work in schools in the allocated area and remote working from home or office. You will need to be able to travel regularly to all schools in the area. 

You will hold a recognised level 4 clinical qualification in family interventions/counselling/Childhood Development/Social Work and a recognised membership of a relevant professional body (BACP/UKCP/NCS/BPS – BASW (British Association for Social Workers)/AFT (Association for Family Practice and Systemic Practice).
