With a clear vision and a strong resolve, we are committed to creating an aspirational environment where every child and young person in Nottingham has the opportunity to achieve, learn, and be safe in their family environment.

- Ability to conduct assessments and analyse findings to formulate action plans, and the ability to produce high quality written records and reports. This includes doing so with adolescence within the Criminal Justice System.
- Experience of effectively using a range of preventative and early intervention theories and models when working with children, young people & families to prevent the need for escalation to specialist services, including Youth Justice.
- Ability to build good working relationships with families and over-come barriers to them engaging.
- Ability to demonstrate a solution-focused approach that will give confidence to children, young people and their families.
- Sound knowledge of safeguarding issues and experience of applying legislation and policy and procedure to practice, including the relevant assessment framework and integrated working. This includes legislation around Youth Justice.

- The role requires you to participate in the on call rota.
