Social Worker Family

Overview

About the Team: Our Family Help Team is a dynamic, committed and welcoming service, working alongside families at every stage of need. From early targeted support, through Children in Need, Edge of Care, Child Protection and Court work, we also support children in care until a clear plan for reunification or permanency is secured. This breadth of work makes our team varied, challenging and extremely rewarding.

We are proud to be a truly multi‑disciplinary team, bringing together Family Practitioners, Social Workers, Systemic Consultants, PCSOs and, soon, an NHS Nurse. By working collaboratively under one team, we respond to families’ needs holistically, reduce risk and focus on what matters most – keeping families safely together wherever possible. Our practice is firmly grounded in Restorative Principles. We work with families, supporting them to identify their strengths, understand challenges and create meaningful, achievable plans for positive change.

Every family is supported to develop a plan that is individual to them and builds on their own capacity to achieve lasting outcomes. You’ll be joining a team that is ambitious for children and families, open to innovation and committed to reflective, relationship‑based practice. We actively support learning and development, providing a nurturing environment where practitioners are encouraged to grow, share ideas and develop their confidence and skills.

If you are passionate about achieving the best outcomes for children and families, enjoy working as part of a supportive multi‑agency team, and want to be part of a service that values new ways of working and professional development, we would love to hear from you. We are embedding our Families First teams who support the young people in our County, working in locality, multi‑disciplinary and multi‑agency teams that support the whole family.

We are building strong partnerships with local services, Health, Police and Education.
