The Early Help and Prevention Service in Portsmouth is a new way of doing things – providing extra practical help with families early on, to stop problems getting worse. We talk with families about the things that are most important to them, what might help and what we can do differently to help them. This is how we start working together with the whole family to help get things back on track. In Portsmouth we believe social work matters. We continue to invest in our front-line staff and services drawing on a wide range of skills, sharing expertise with our partner agencies and valuing development and improving practice.
The role
The role involves working within the 0-19 Early Help team to strengthen plans and support families to make change without statutory intervention. The role requires sensitive support and challenge to families and staff. The role includes line management responsibilities as part of a locality-based team. This will include data monitoring and other quality assurance activities.
We are committed to professional development and will provide training for the successful candidate. If successful you will be joining lively, challenging and supportive teams whose priority is in improving outcomes for Portsmouth’s children and young people.
