Summary
As an Authority we are actively working as a Partner in Practice with the Department of Education; supporting other authorities to improve their services. We have won the prestigious award of Overall Council of the Year at the 2018 Public Service Excellence Awards, in addition to our Edge of Care Team winning the Best Innovation/Demand Management award. The Children in Need team in Winsford also won the Children’s Services Team of the Year at the National Social Work Awards in 2016.
We have an exciting opportunity for a skilled and experienced individual to join the newly created Nook team within the Intervention Hub.
The Nook is a collaboration project between Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) and Cheshire West and Chester Local Authority (CWAC). As a member of the Nook team you will work closely with partner agencies and be involved in providing an intensive whole family approach supporting those children and young people who are experiencing mental health difficulties which place them at risk of entering a Tier 4 in-patient unit or where young people are being discharged from a Tier 4 in-patient unit and there may be a risk of family breakdown or readmittance to hospital.
The Nook team work with the family as a whole, utilising a solution focused methodology and evidence-based interventions to support and empower them in developing and implementing sustainable, long term, solutions and feel confident in managing the difficulties they may face.
As a practitioner you will receive regular supervision by an experienced Senior Practice Lead or Team Manager to ensure the assessed needs of the child are being met and outcomes are improved. As a practitioner, excellent training opportunities will be provided to support you in undertaking the role.
Caseloads will be reflective of the need for intensive intervention with the families which will be regularly reviewed and measured against a clear SMART planning process to ensure effectiveness of intervention.
If you have the passion and drive for direct front line family focused work and are flexible in your approach in working with children and families, we want to hear from you!
