DY5 1LW Our developing Family Help service aims to provide targeted support and help to families so that children and families can thrive and more families are able to stay together. We recognise that providing the right type of support at the right time for families is key to working effectively and that lasting relationships with professionals is central to working alongside families and their networks. We believe in the power of relationships. Our Family Help model is rooted in Restorative practice and built on trust, consistency and co-production.

Our service works with families who require a single assessment, a co-ordinated plan including child protection plans and we undertake pre-proceedings and care proceedings work. We recognise that strong permanency planning for our children is key to supporting family relationships and networks, even when it is not safe for children to remain within the care of a parent. Our kinship offer is developing and we working closely with our kinship team to secure creative and supportive plans for family networks. Our service is a friendly and passionate service, always seeking to improve the best outcomes for our children and families. We offer a great opportunity to expand your skillset, knowledge, and confidence within front line help and safeguarding practice, supported by regular supervision, learning and development opportunities and a committed and supportive management team. Our Advanced Practitioners are pivotal to establishing consistently excellent social work practice in our teams. You will be the allocated social worker for a small number our children needing the most skilled help whilst sharing your expertise with others through modelling, coaching, reflective supervision and other learning activities. You will support your team to improve the quality of performance and practice, support our ASYE social workers and work alongside our Centre for Professional Practice.
