In this role, you will undertake direct work with children and their families, working within statutory legislation and delivering interventions prioritised by the line manager.

You will have shared accountability with other team members for achieving required team performance targets and the benefits there are from Group Supervision or Joint Agency Supervision to support that shared responsibility and group thinking to supporting children, young people and their families.


Within Norfolk, we are very passionate about development and progression and there are multiple opportunities such as secondments, apprenticeships and a variety of training courses to support this, along with the supportive ethos from managers and seniors within the teams.
