An exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint 2 full-time Band 4 Keyworker Assistants to support our established Keyworker Team, based at Dragon Square, Chesterton.
The Learning Disability and Autism Keyworker Team works with Children and Young People with a diagnosis of Learning Disability and/or Autism who are on the Dynamic Support Register due to being at risk of Tier 4 hospital admission or care package breakdown.
The Keyworker Assistant role is varied, and the postholder's experience may include:
1. Direct experience of caring for or living with a child or young person who has a learning disability, autism, or both.
2. Experience as a parent or carer for someone with a learning disability, autism, or both.
3. Experience supporting people who present behavioral challenges in the community.
4. Please see the job description for a full understanding of expectations within the role.
The NHS Long Term Plan commits that by 2023/24, children and young people with complex needs will have a designated keyworker, supporting those at risk of hospital admission or in transition between services. This role will provide step-down support from the keyworker team, assisting clients moving to less intensive support levels.
North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare hosts half of the Keyworker Team, working in partnership with MPFT and liaising across relevant agencies to support clients and their families.
As a Trust, we are committed to service and system transformation to improve health and wellbeing through high-quality care. We prioritize staff wellbeing, offering flexible working and wellness opportunities.
We are dedicated to the Greener NHS initiative to become the world’s first 'carbon net zero' health system by 2045, embedding sustainability into our strategy with the 'Proud to be Green' campaign supporting our Green Plan.
We value diversity and inclusivity, encouraging applications from under-represented groups including women, people with disabilities, those from diverse backgrounds, and LGBTQ+ communities.
