Job description
This is an exciting time in Redcar & Cleveland where we are pleased to be part of the No Wrong Door – Strengthening Families Protecting Children programme; a pioneering way of providing support to young people who are in our care, or on the edge of care.
The Hub is a residential children's home and we welcome those applicants with residential experience. No Wrong Door, devised by North Yorkshire County Council has already radically improved the life chances for young people elsewhere, many of whom experienced long-term neglect and trauma throughout their childhoods and were likely to have needed to be taken into the care of the local authority without this intervention. The success of No Wrong Door is built on a multi-agency approach to support young people. Each young person has a key worker who sticks with them through thick and thin, supporting them to access the right services at the right time and in the right place to meet their individual needs. It is a tough love approach for those who have had a lifetime of experiencing rejection and failure. We are immensely proud that No Wrong Door has been embraced within Redcar and Cleveland after our successful bid to the Department for Education to enable us to work with North Yorkshire to adopt the model locally. We are now recruiting to the position of Hub Portfolio Lead. This is a challenging position that will be suited to a flexible, resilient and positive applicant. As a designated keyworker for a range of young people receiving support from NWD, you will work as part of a 24/7 rota which will see you provide the stability to help young people develop problem solving and life skills to improve their outcomes. Each Hub Portfolio Lead has a designated portfolio area within the hub’s Core Offer. You will be based at the hub on the outskirts of Redcar, in a beautifully refurbished former care home that offers outstanding facilities for the multi-agency team who will be based there to support some of our most vulnerable young people. You will be required to provide sleeping- in overnight cover and will be expected to work a pattern of 3 days working and 3 days off as part of a rolling rota.Job tags
