Family Practitioner - Middlesbrough, United Kingdom - Middlesbrough Council

Description

As a Family Practitioner you will work with children, young people, and their families, providing early help support with an identified complex caseload to set achievable goals, increase family resilience, and secure good outcomes for children.

This role is rewarding and requires you to work with vulnerable children and their families using a whole family approach to strengthen relationships and to provide help and support at the earliest opportunity, to prevent escalation to statutory services.

A comprehensive knowledge and skill-base is needed and as an enthusiastic team player, you will need to use your initiative and champion improvements in practice.

The ability to develop strong relationships with schools, colleagues and other safeguarding partners is also a must for this role.

Are you driven and ambitious, both for yourself and the children and families you will work with? Do you have the confidence to work independently? If so, we want to hear from you

At Middlesbrough we live our values and are looking for people who share our vision of children and relationships at the centre of everything we do and offering the right service at the right time.

We show Middlesbrough Children they really Matter, and we aim to achieve the best outcomes for them. We want to support you to be excellent in your role and we will do this by providing a vast range of training and professional opportunities, overseen by our Centre for Practice Excellence.

To give you the best start in your new role with us, you will have a 4-week induction giving you the time to really get to know us, our processes, systems, and services.
