Children and Families Support Worker - Posts Available in the East Early Help Team

Scarborough
and surrounding areas

Early Help is part of North Yorkshire Council’s Children and Families Service. We work alongside children, young people and their families
up to the age of 19 (25 years when there is an identified SEND need).

Our work is strength-based and underpinned by our ‘Strength in
Relationships’ practice model where we work alongside other relevant agencies
to ensure that we support families to create their own sustainable family plans
that really make a difference.

The
role includes delivering group and virtual sessions, such as parenting and speech and language courses, as well as supervising court directed contact
(Family Time) for children and families open to Children’s Social Care across a
0-19 age range, enabling them to spend time with those that they love.

We are looking for enthusiastic, highly
motivated people who are passionate about providing outstanding support to
children, young people and their families. This is an excellent opportunity to start your
career within our Children and Families Service.

This exciting post will provide:

• An

opportunity to work with families, foster carers, social workers and key
professionals to make a real difference to the lives of children and young
people.

• A

chance to work in a role where every day will be different.

• A great

introduction into the field of Children and Families Service, working with
great, dynamic teams of like-minded
people.

• Outstanding

training and career progression opportunities, with many of our team progressing
into Children and Families roles.

We offer regular 1-1 and group-based supervision
and take a collaborative team approach in delivering best practice across the
service. You will
receive an excellent rewards package including flexible working and flexitime,
membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, and a generous annual leave
allowance.

Due to the nature of the job role, the
post can occasionally include some evening and weekend work to meet the needs
of families, and the ability to travel easily across the local area is important.
An Enhanced Level DBS Disclosure is essential for appointment to this
post and the ability to work towards a Level 3 qualification in a relevant
field.
