These sessions help families understand their childs strengths and identify how to best support their child. The role involves close collaboration with healthcare professionals to fully understand each child and includes signposting families to services across health, education, social care, and voluntary sectors. Strong empathetic communication skills are essential, along with the ability to maintain accurate records and produce clear, formal reports.

A sound understanding of safeguarding procedures for pre-school children is required. Regular supervision supports ongoing professional development. Travel is required to deliver care in CDCs, nurseries, and family homes, ensuring support is accessible and responsive.
