This role will last 3 months initially.

Paid at £38 umbrella.

The role will involve the following:

• This fully embedded way of receiving contacts and referrals provides opportunities for professionals to have meaningful discussions with our staff that result in interventions at the right time by the right service.

• These ways of working are being embedded through our Restorative Practice Approach that is being rolled out across Children’s Services.
• The intended outcome is that our locality social work teams will have manageable caseloads enabling more direct work with children.
