Job description

As part of our Family Hub model, we are developing our Drug and Alcohol Family Support service. As part of this service, we are looking to recruit a Young Persons Well Being worker.

The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering planned interventions to children and young people relating to the impact of parental/adult drug and alcohol use.

This could be through 1.2.1 work or group work and can be delivered in the family home or in a community-based setting such as a school or a Family Hub.

Listening to the voice of the child is key to understanding their lived experiences and helping to ensure they receive the right support. It is paramount the work undertaken feeds into children and family’s plans, both in Early Help and the statutory arena. You may also be the lead worker where needed.

We are looking for someone who can be creative in engaging young people in the work they undertake ensuring interventions are appropriate to a young person’s age and understanding.
The post holder will be required to work collaboratively with a wide range of professionals including Early Help, Social care, Health, Education and Young Carers.

All assessments, interventions and contacts with children and their families will need to be accurately recorded on the electronic case management system so relevant IT experience would be beneficial.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 and an Enhanced DBS disclosure, including Barred List Check, will be required.

For more information please contact Katrina Sales 07583007550
