QSW – Norfolk Council – Family HelpTeam – £40.50 per hour
About the Role
This is an exciting time to join the frontline Social Work teams at Norfolk following the launch of our brand-new operating model. Family Help mirrors some of the ambitions laid out in the National Children’s Social Care Review (2022) and the Government’s response to that, Stable Homes Built on Love (2023), it further amplifies and enhances elements we know have worked for our children, families and practitioners in Norfolk for some time. Six months ago we implemented this way of working county wide following on from a very successful trial period.
Family Help consists of multi‑disciplinary teams working collaboratively to meet the needs of children, and in a culture that prioritises relationships, direct work and extended family networking to affect sustainable change. The teams are made up of 22 practitioners, of which seven or eight are social workers; the rest are family support workers, specialist practitioners, assistant managers and team managers. Cases are managed by the whole prevention and protection teams and families receive targeted interventions at a very early stage, improving outcomes for our children and families. We have received amazing benefits from this way of working for our Social Workers too, including the reduction in intervention times and paperwork.
You will be joining an authority who cares about your wellbeing, who are passionate about flexible working and who develop practitioners, so everyone feels valued and part of our Norfolk County Council family.
Qualifications
Qualified Social Workers registered with Social Work England and experienced in Child Protection, Assessments and Court Work, who are excellent team players and share our vision to provide the best possible outcomes for children and families.
EEO Statement
We particularly encourage applications from underrepresented groups at Norfolk County Council including Black and Global Majority practitioners, and we are committed to equality and diversity within our Family Help teams.
