An exciting opportunity is now available within Wokingham Borough Council's Integrated Early Help Service as we look to recruit a Senior Early Help Worker to work within our busy team based in the Ambleside Hub on a full-time 1 year fixed term basis.
As a Senior Early Help Worker, you will be responsible for managing a defined caseload and work with children, young people, and their families to reduce risks associated with poor outcomes for children. As a lead professional, you will complete whole family Early Help Assessments to gain an understanding of the children and family’s needs and develop a time-limited action plan to help the family achieve the identified outcomes. You will work closely with other professionals and coordinate wrap-around, strength-based support for the family.
