FULL 5 DAYS, 37 hours per week – immediate start.
Family Support Teams consist of ASYE, Social Workers, and Senior Practitioners, alongside a Deputy Team Manager and a Team Manager. We manage Child in Need, Child Protection, and Looked After Children cases through to the end of proceedings. On average, caseloads are 10 families, which is approximately 22 children. Each staff member's caseload includes a mixture of CIN and CP cases, with more experienced staff handling court cases, but no more than 3 families at a time, which may involve private proceedings and the completion of Section 7 or 37 reports.
Supervision occurs every 4 weeks, encompassing both personal and case supervision. Due to COVID-19, all children and families are seen for home visits within statutory timescales. When not completing visits, staff work from home, with meetings such as core group, family support, and Strategy Meetings conducted via Microsoft Teams. Staff are expected in the office only when on duty or if they have scheduled work, averaging 3 times a month.
In Family Support, we have access to FAST and SAIT, which we can refer to for direct work, interventions, and assessments for families. This includes support for parenting skills, boundaries, managing behaviour, and specialist assessments such as PAMS, Adult Attachment Interview, Story Stems, and more.
