Are you passionate about outcomes for Children and their families?
Here is your chance to be part of an exciting new service Improving Child and Family Arrangements for separated families.
We have the following exciting job opportunities available!
Role: Family Intervention Worker
Location: Nottingham
Salary: £12.69 per hour
Contract type: Permanent
Hours: Variable hours per week, must be available to work Saturdays
About the Role: We are looking for experienced family support workers to join our team to deliver CAFCASS Improving Child and Family Arrangements (ICFA). ICFA helps families agree on safe, beneficial, and sustainable child arrangements. The role involves working alongside parents to improve outcomes for their individual family over a 12-week period.
Sessions can be arranged at suitable times for you and the families you are working with, allowing flexibility of days and times worked; however, the role does involve weekend work, particularly Saturdays.
The Family Intervention Worker role is key in:
* Reducing barriers and resistance to agreeing arrangements
* Promoting positive communication within families
* Ensuring children’s wishes and feelings are heard
To achieve the above, Family Intervention Workers explore the current situation and work with parents and the children to agree on a plan to break down any barriers, improve communication, observe family interactions during direct contact sessions, and agree on next steps and support parents to prepare a parenting plan for after ICFA has been completed. The role does require written reports.
Full training and support are provided to the successful candidate. This is an ideal role for graduates with experience of working directly with children and families.
In return for your commitment, we offer the opportunity to join an open, supportive, and tight-knit organization. Our fantastic work stems from our caring, family culture, which is at the heart of everything we do. We are an ambitious, inclusive team where voices are heard.
The successful applicant(s) will be appointed subject to satisfactory references and enhanced DBS check.
Due to the volume of applicants, we will get in touch only if selected for an interview.
This organization is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Any role involving working with children will be subject to an enhanced/barred DBS check, and staff will be required to complete a safeguarding self-declaration. The self-declaration will require you to disclose information about offences that may impact your suitability to work with children. For more information on this, please visit Updated guidance on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (GOV.UK).
Children’s Links recognizes and actively promotes the benefits of a diverse workforce and is committed to treating all employees with dignity and respect, regardless of race, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion, or belief. We therefore welcome applications from all sections of the community.
