Intensive Support Worker | 8159 | temporary contract to cover maternity leave | 37 hours per week | £30,559 to £32,654 per annum | Grade G | Kings Lynn

Do you want to help support Norfolks most vulnerable families?

Are you passionate about providing children and their families with the guidance and support they need to live within the community and thrive within the family home?

We are looking to recruit a dedicated resilient practitioner to join our Family Help team with the aim to enable more children to remain at home safely with their families.

As an Intensive Support Worker, you will undertake targeted, evidence-based and timely/time-limited interventions with families, working alongside Social Workers/Family Practitioners to promote safety and well-being and prevent escalation of need. You will embrace Norfolk Vital Signs for children as an approach that underpins your work with children and families.

You will have a minimum of three years experience of working directly with children and families.

You will be confident delivering interventions one-to-one, or on a group basis, with children, young people and parents/caregivers.

You will require an NVQ level 3 in a relevant subject or equivalent experience providing services for children and young people, and their families and an understanding of child development from birth to 19 including factors which impede overall development.

In order to support families when they most need it, Intensive Support Workers are contracted to work from Monday to Sunday. You will be required - on occasion - to work outside of normal office working hours, including evenings, mornings and weekends.

You will be required to travel as part of your duties and you may be required, at short notice, to transport young people between a variety of rural and urban locations.

This is a great opportunity to join an innovative service providing the best possible support to parents and families to ensure children thrive in their care.

The interview process will consist of a competency-based interview. If this is successful, a further safe care (Warner) interview will follow.

If you wish to discuss this opportunity further, please call Debra Horne on 01553 669209 or email
