Description 2 posts | Support for Success Clinicians | 8142 | permanent contracts | part-time 22.2 hours per week | £42,463 to £46,732 per annum pro rata | Grade K | North, East and Broadland/Countywide Hi, I am Suzie Stephens, Team Manager Support for Success Team. We have been a ‘live’ service since April 2021, and we are now one service supporting social work teams across the county. We have established a good reputation and great working relationships with Team Managers and Social Work Teams across the county, as well as Foster Carers, Supervising Social Workers and professionals from a wide range of disciplines. We work in the In Care and Life Beyond Care teams with young people aged 0-25 years who are looked after or previously looked after. We also sometimes provide direct intervention with Looked After Children in the Family Help service and UASC (Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children) service. Clinicians attend social work group supervisions to help the professionals thinking about all the young people and help to develop ideas for where the unmet needs could be met with support. The Clinician role is key to help identify where more discussion and thinking would help the network to provide greater support to the young person, facilitating a consultation with key people, to explore these unmet needs. This process leads to a written proposal of intervention for the case holder to accept, leading to work being allocated to a worker from the team. The Clinicians in the service develop bespoke packages of support for young people, families and professional ‘teams around the child’. They help the thinking to identify needs; those presented and the possible underlying causes, so that curiosity and reflection aids shared understanding. It can also lead to agreed intervention plans to help the stability, emotional wellbeing and mental health or reunification plans for the young person. Clinicians undertake some direct intervention work themselves, for about 10% of their hours, they provide reflective supervision to Practitioners and help the whole Support for Success service to remain curious and interested in ‘understanding why’ children and adults are behaving as they are, and what interventions could alleviate difficulties. They have Clinical Supervision from a systemically trained supervisor, and case management and support from myself, the Team Manager. This is a very supportive countywide team, with 3 patches (sub teams) all working together, full of passionate people, keen to be helpful to one another and support learning, thinking and development of all our skills across all the teams we work with.
