    Description

    Integrated Adolescent Service:
    Adolescent Social Work Assistant

    Are you hardworking, committed, and passionate about helping young people and their families? Do you want to work in an Outstanding Local Authority? Ofsted have recently awarded Kent with an Outstanding rating in recognition of the service we provide to our children.

    Ofsted were impressed with the Adolescent Service responses and support to children at risk of contextualised harm.
    The Integrated Adolescent Service recognises that adolescents should be given a bespoke offer of support.

    Many of the young people we work with have experienced developmental trauma and disrupted attachments, resulting in them being vulnerable to extra familial harm.

    We want professionals capable of bringing understanding and emotional intelligence to everything they do.

    The service promotes a practice philosophy which seeks to develop a secure trusting relationship to empower young people and their families, building on individual strengths, and helping them to develop strategies which support them to understand, manage and respond to the difficulties they face.

    Many of the young people we work with have experienced developmental trauma and disrupted attachments, the development of a secure trusting relationship is a key aspect of our work.

    Work is mainly done with individual young people but can also involve work with siblings and families.
    build positive relationships with adolescents and their carers, and to inspire young people to reach their potential.

    Our teams and our people are our greatest asset – if you want to make a positive difference you will be surrounded by like-minded individuals who will support you and help you along the way.

    We have a permanent full time vacancy that has become available in our social work team based in West Kent covering the Sevenoaks and Tonbridge / Tunbridge Wells districts.

    You will receive quality regular supervision, specialist adolescent training and a case load tailored to your experience and skills.

    There are opportunities for flexible working arrangements and access to employee rewards packages. You will receive 27 – 29 days annual leave per year dependent on years of continuous service. Bank holidays are in addition to this entitlement.

    You will deliver 1:1 interventions with young people as well as working with their family as part of a systems led approach.

    You will need to demonstrate an ability to engage with children, young people, their families and carers, coupled with the integrity to work within a confidential, professional environment.

    You will contribute towards assessments of young people and their carers to determine their needs and capabilities as well as draw up plans of support.

    Using strengths based and solution focussed intervention methods, you will seek to mediate, reunify, and promote young people remain safely at home with their family and support networks.

    You will support young people to express their wishes and feelings, providing them with advocacy wherever necessary.

    You will be asked to contribute towards safety planning, as well as linking young people in with partner agencies to ensure their needs are met in a holistic way.

    Applicants will need to be able to work as part of a team including building positive working relationships with professionals in the Youth Justice, Adolescent Early Help Units, Youth Open Access and Adolescent Support Team social workers.

    You will need to have an understanding of multi-agency work.

    A high standard of written English is an important requirement as all team members must be able to produce a good standard of report writing and maintain accurate, comprehensive written records.

    You will have experience of working with children, young people and families in a similar role or setting. You will have an NVQ Level 3 in childcare or equivalent.

    The ability to travel around the area is also an integral part of this role as we cover a wide geographical area and part of your duties will involve visiting families at home.

    We welcome applicants who meet the criteria regardless of their sex, age, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender reassignment or disability.

    The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements.

    KCC is committed to building a workforce which reflects the diversity of the county's working residents, encouraging applications from people of all ages, abilities, genders, sexual orientations, ethnic backgrounds, faiths and those with caring responsibilities, and aspires to create an inclusive workplace where everyone can be themselves at work.
