* Take part in reflective supervision for the family support worker, helping them develop and provide exceptional services.

* Work closely alongside the team manager to offer guidance, chair meetings, and ensure processes run smoothly.

* Carry out statutory visits to ensure the safety, wellbeing, and development of children in the service.

* Complete life journey work with children and young people, creating meaningful connections and helping them understand their past and present.

* Accurately record all case information, preparing detailed reports and evidence when required.
