About the Team:

Our Family Help Team is a dynamic, committed and welcoming service, working alongside families at every stage of need. From early targeted support, through Children in Need, Edge of Care, Child Protection and Court work; we also support children in care until a clear plan for reunification or permanency is secured.

Our practice is firmly grounded in Restorative Principles.

Every family is supported to develop a plan that is individual to them and builds on their own capacity to achieve lasting outcomes. You'll be joining a team that is ambitious for children and families, open to innovation and committed to reflective, relationship-based practice. We actively support learning and development, providing a nurturing environment where practitioners are encouraged to grow, share ideas and develop their confidence and skills.
