2 weeks ago
Are you an experienced practitioner looking for a dynamic role that makes a positive impact on the lives of children and young people with learning disabilities, autism or both?
Do you believe in transforming health, social care and educational systems for children and young people with learning disabilities, autism or both?
West Yorkshire Keyworker Service is recruiting and this could be the next role for you.
Please note these roles are being advertised as 12 month contracts, working up to 37 hours per week. Secondments will also be considered - please obtain prior agreement from your current line manager and include details in your application.
The National Health Service Long Term Plan (LTP) includes commitment that ‘by 2023/24 children and young people with a learning disability, autism or both with the most complex needs will have a designated keyworker.
Initially, keyworker support will be provided to children and young people who are inpatients or at risk of being admitted to hospital. Keyworker support will also be extended to the most vulnerable children with a learning disability and/or autism, including those who face multiple vulnerabilities such as looked after and adopted children and children and young people in transition between services as they turn 18.
As Keyworker you will:
Have knowledge and experience of learning disabilities and autism (this can also be lived experience). Have responsibility for a caseload working with children, young people, their parents/carers and families to navigate what can be a complex health and social care system so that their needs are met before reaching crisis point. Build a trusting relationship with families so they get the support that they need at the right time, and where possible local to them, in their community. Secure wraparound support and care for children and young people with complex learning disabilities, autism or both. Work alongside cross-sector multiagency professionals including health, education, youth justice, voluntary sector and social care. Work with our co-production lead to ensure the Service is developed and co-produced with parents, carers, young people and those with lived experience. Receive quality and reflective supervision and learning opportunities to develop you in the role.These are exciting and innovative roles which will give you the opportunity to work in partnership with the four West Yorkshire Health Trusts, the five local authorities, local advocacy organisations and the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector.
Working within the parameters of legislation, you will champion the perspective of the child, young person and family, being an advocate and challenging systems to support them within a positive risk-taking approach.
As Keyworker you will share your knowledge and expertise in this area of work with the wider team as well as provide guidance and advice to colleagues and work with the Programme Manager, Statutory Health Lead, 4 Team Managers and 3 Senior Keyworkers and a Specialist Keyworking Team consisting of 7 Learning Disability and Autism Leads to provide a Service that will make a difference to the lives of children and young people and their families. You will be joining a team that is passionate about the work they do and support one another through peer supervision and reflective learning sessions.
When completing your application please refer to your skills knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification, Job Description and Additional Information document. This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described.

Pay & Reward FrameworkWe know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's . We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.
For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.

More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
