Summary

Integrated Front Door - Empowering Families, Protecting Futures

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Integrated Front Door team, who work together to ensure a timely consistent, response to all contacts to provide the best outcomes for Wiltshire's children and young people.

We work in the Early Support Hub (ESH) to offer Early Help to families referred for support into IFD who reach either the blue or green threshold. Our team offers various lead roles and specialist support from our experiences, managing a caseload of families daily. Families are offered signposting, Early Support Assessment (ESA), or referred to other agencies for support. We ensure there are no further risks to families after speaking to parents, children, and other professionals involved. We also offer consultations via the IFD main line for anonymous concerns where a Request for Service (RFS) may be needed and offer ESA consultation support.

Besides our day-to-day caseload, we have lead roles and share the delivery of the IFD tour via PowerPoint presentation. The role is fast-paced and can be intense but ultimately very rewarding, as we help families prior to higher social care escalation across Wiltshire.

The ideal candidate will need to demonstrate excellent communication skills and be comfortable operating in a multi-agency environment. Flexibility is key, requiring responsiveness to daily competing demands and proficiency in prioritising workloads.
