Title: Children and Families Intervention Worker
Locations: Ryedale, Selby, Northallerton and Harrogate
Contract: Full Time/Part Time, Fixed Term for 2 years
Salary: £27,344 - £30,151 per annum pro rata
We are looking to recruit supportive, resilient and highly motivated individuals to join our team of Children & Families Intervention Workers.
Early Help is part of North Yorkshire County Council’s Children & 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).
We are a consent-based service focused on offering “the right support at the right time”. Our work is strength based and underpinned by our ‘Strength in Relationships’ practice model where we work alongside other relevant agencies to ensure we support families to create their own sustainable family plans that really make a difference. We provide interventions to children, young people and their families, drawing on their strengths and helping to build support networks as well as statutory work for those open to Children’s Social Care and Youth Justice Teams.
The number of minority ethnic children and families has increased significantly in North Yorkshire, particularly over recent years with the arrival of refugee families and increasing numbers of unaccompanied asylum seeking children. These posts will have a specific focus on supporting our growing refugee community as well as working directing with children and young people from other vulnerable groups.
If you are an enthusiastic, highly motivated person who is passionate and experienced in working with vulnerable children, young people & families to provide outstanding support then this role is for you.
This exciting post will give you opportunities to:
- Work directly with children, young people and their families, to ensure they have the right support at the right time.
- Work with other key professionals to co-ordinate an effective network of support to make a real difference to the lives of children and young people.
- Work in a rewarding role where every day can be different.
- Be part of dynamic team, working with like-minded people.
- Access outstanding training and career progression opportunities across Children and Families Service.
We offer regular 1-1 and group based supervisions and taking a collaborative team approach in delivering best practice across the service. You will receive an excellent rewards package including agile working and flexitime, membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, and a generous annual leave allowance.
Enhanced Level DBS Disclosure is required for appointment to this post and a Level 3 Qualification in a relevant field. These post will require you to work evenings and weekends and occasional bank holidays when required.
