Part Time
£30930 to £32637

This is an exciting time to be joining the Early Help and Prevention service delivering a locality-based family support service to children and families facing multiple and complex issues. Our teams include youth provision and the Troubled Families agenda, as part of an integrated whole family approach to delivery. Early Help services form an integral element of the wider early help partnership offer available across Haringey, responding to needs assessed as being below Tier 3 (London Safeguarding Children’s Board guidelines), and builds on and compliments other services and partner agency delivered, universal provision. This role delivers direct support to families, usually in their homes to help resolve issues, build capacity and prevent escalation to statutory services. Undertaking holistic family assessments, using the Conversations for Change approach and working collaboratively to deliver effective family support plans is central to strengthening families and enabling them to become more resilient and less reliant on services. We evidence the impact of our work through a consistent approach to assessment, timely recording and regularly reviewing plans and family progress as part of the team around the family approach.

 The Early Help service in Haringey has been develepoed to be flexible and demonstrate our willingness and ability to work collaboratively with other providers we will enable more families to address the challenges which prevent them from making progress and be more accountable as part of a cohesive early help partnership. In this way we will deliver stronger, better informed and more responsive local networks to effectively support individual, family and community needs.
