An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Children and Family Wellbeing Service Family Intensive Support Team in Rossendale. Post holders will work in partnership with other Family Partners across their team to provide a personalised, whole family focussed, casework response to meeting the unmet needs of identified children, young people and families.
Holders will undertake direct work with service users, holding an individual caseload of children and young people within their families. They will assess undertake early help assessments of the family's needs. They will co-produce with families, smart action plans focussed on improving outcomes for the children and improving their welfare and implement these alongside other key partner agencies through a Team around the Family approach. Their casework will respond to needs at both a universal+ and intensive support level, with a leaning towards more complex cases.
Their workload will be identified through a range of service pathways including cases;
• Referred for an early help response through the multi-agency safeguarding hub (MASH)
• De-escalated and stepped down from specialist/statutory level
• Where more complex family needs have been identified through the universal school setting as part of service 'Team around the School' arrangements
• Requests for support with more complex family needs, originated by other agencies.
Post holders will work cooperatively across service delivery teams and themes to ensure that service users experience continuity and receive a seamless service. Post holders will secure the consent of service users and apply creativity to maintain positive engagement with family members throughout the duration of interventions. They will have responsibility for planning their work and choosing suitable evidence-based methodologies for responding to identified needs which achieve positive results. They will be able to use judgment to re-shape their responses to deal with new emerging needs and unforeseen issues, seeking guidance from Lead Practitioners and making practical decisions within closely defined policies and procedural guidance.
