You will be instrumental in the effective delivery of intense, evidence-based interventions to families at risk of breakdown, using trauma informed, restorative, and strength-based approaches.

You will develop and implement tailored family plans in partnership with parents, children, and multi-agency professionals. You will work collaboratively alongside Social Work to ensure a consistent approach within the child’s plan.
