About the role

The post holder will be responsible for managing a caseload supporting children, young people and families with a range of needs and risks and will provide support to children, young people and their families within the designated geographical area of either Richmond or Kingston.

By undertaking effective assessments of children and families needs using our assessment framework, the post holder will prepare high quality SMART care plans in partnership with children, young people and families using our preferred practice model. All assessments and interventions will be recorded using our case management system. Positive changes, Independence, reduced risk factors and feedback from children, young people and families are examples of effective outcomes and successes required within this role. In all roles across AfC the post holders will be expected to develop and support a culture of partnership and innovation, so that services are child focused, flexible and adaptable. The whole organisation should learn from mistakes, share knowledge and challenge existing practice.
