We are seeking a driven and child-focused individual to lead our brand-new short breaks team in Barnsley. This role sits within the children with disabilities service and involves management oversight of 4 short break support workers (this may grow), whose primary role is to undertake short break assessments, present at Barnsley's short break panel, complete decision support tool checklists, support with the assessments, complete transition paperwork and referrals to adult social care and other services, and review short break packages. This is a new team; therefore, there will be considerable development work, which will involve co-production with parents, carers, children, and services across the partnership. We are seeking a confident and creative thinker.
