Overview

By using a strengths-based, whole-family approach, you will be supporting families with children aged 0-5 to make and maintain changes in their lives.  
 
Here are some comments from parents who have been helped by Families Plus workers: 
  • ‘It was brilliant, she listened to me and supported me to understand what was going on and what we could work on and change.’ 
  • ‘By attending the group I have learned to understand my child’s needs and have changed the way I react to his behaviour.’
  • ‘We no longer have arguments or difficult conversations in front of the children as it was explained how the comments we made would cause more problems and anxiety with the children. We have all grown as a family.’
We are seeking applicants who are skilled at engaging families quickly, creating purposeful, professional relationships and agreeing realistic aims and objectives. Building on their existing strengths to get through difficult experiences, our support helps families to continue to use what they have learned once the Families Plus involvement ends. 
 
What will you be doing? 
  • You will carry out whole family assessments of need, providing advice and guidance to families, in order to establish plans where appropriate.
  • You will ensure that services are effective and supportive for families with children aged 0-5 years.  
  • You will review and monitor Early Help plans, responding to the changing of needs and renegotiating where appropriate in accordance with safeguarding procedures. 
  • You will manage your own caseload of specific work to ensure specialist inputs and effective outcomes are achieved. Records and reports will need to be completed in accordance with professional and council guidelines. 
  • You will liaise and work with contacts from different sectors; including early years settings, health, social care and the voluntary sector ensuring that communication is effective so knowledge and best practice can be shared.
