Job Description:
Social Worker - Children - Family Support Team in Milton Keynes
Family Support Teams are made up of ASYE, Social Workers, and Senior Practitioners. There is a Deputy Team Manager and a Team Manager.
We hold Child in Need, Child Protection, Looked After Children / Court through to the end of proceedings. On average, caseloads are 10 families, which is approximately 22 children. Everyone's caseload is a mixture of CIN and CP, and the more experienced staff hold court cases but no more than 3 families at one time, which can include private proceedings completing Section 7 or 37 reports.
Supervision is held every 4 weeks, including personal and case supervision. Our current working arrangements due to COVID-19 involve home visits for all children and families within statutory timescales. When staff are not completing visits, they work from home, and predominantly all meetings, such as core group, family support, and Strategy Meetings, are held via Microsoft Teams. All staff have access to their own smartphone and Surface Pro tablet. We expect staff to be in the office up to 2 days a week if they are on duty or duty backup, which averages 3 times a month, or if they have booked and planned to be in the office to complete a piece of work. WFH is acceptable at other times. Flexi hours can be discussed on an individual basis; on Fridays, workers will have the choice of a shorter lunch and a 4 o'clock finish.
In Family Support, we have access to FAST and SAIT, who we can refer to for our families to receive direct work, interventions, and assessments. This includes parenting skills, boundaries and managing behavior, and specialist assessments such as PAMS, Adult Attachment Interview, Story Stems, and much more.
Family support will end once risk issues are minimized, and families have established a more consistent way to meet children's needs.
