Family Safeguarding Recovery - Yeovil, United Kingdom - The Balsam Centre

Description

The post-holder will be based in Children's Services and work as part of a co-located multi-disciplinary team of children's social workers, domestic abuse and substance misuse specialists, to safeguard and reduce risks to children and their families.

They will be responsible for individual and group work with parents whose behaviours mean their families are at risk of harm.

They will ensure that parents who come into the Family Safeguarding programme, and have a mental health condition, are provided with holistic, strengths based support, focusing on the individual needs of the parent and family, linking with wider Open Mental Health offer of support as required.

This link will be enabled through the Open Mental Health locality multi-disciplinary team operating model, so that clinical support from Somerset Foundation Trust can be stepped up as and when needed.

This support will, in turn, form part of the whole multi-disciplinary support plan for the family.

As directed by the Family Safeguarding Team Manager, the Open Mental Health Recovery and Wellbeing Worker will be an integral member of a multi-disciplinary team within the South Somerset Family Safeguarding Team.

They will deliver comprehensive interventions, underpinned by a mixed skill set, including CBT techniques, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused working, skills and behaviours coaching, parenting skills and boundary setting.
