Senior Children and Families Practitioner

Your new company
Hays are working on behalf of a charity which provides support to victims and their families of domestic abuse. They are a growing charity within the Essex and Hertfordshire area and therefore, due to growth, are looking for a new experienced member of staff to join their team as a Senior Practitioner to work within their Children and Family services.
Your new role
This role will involve leading a team of people who deliver support to Children and young people within safe accommodation. During this role, you will be responsible for acting as the voice of the child in refuge and work together with the victims to rebuild family bonds.
As well as leading a team, you will also be responsible for holding cases - some in which may be more complex than others. You will be liaising with local children services,social worker, schools and children services to ensure that the highest standards of risk management are being applied in each area.
This role is Monday to Friday 9am until 5pm and is mainly community and office based within the Chelmsford and Harlow area within Essex. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate part-time for this post.
What you\'ll need to succeed
To be considered for this role, you must have extensive experience working with Vulnerable Children and their Families within a community setting. Ideally you will also have experience as a Senior, managing staff teams and workload. However this is not essential if you are looking for a step up within your career and have a minimum of 2 years experience as a Child or Young Adult Practitioner.
What you\'ll get in return
You will be working on behalf of a charity organisation who invest time, money, training and support in all their staff. Staff wellbeing and mental health are extremely important to them, and they have generous benefit packages to enhance this. Ideally, this role would suit someone that is doing a similar role. However, this position would be a fantastic step up for a individual who is working as a Children & Family Practitioner or Support Worker who is looking for a next step-up in their career.
The salary for this role is £27,800 plus overtime and on-call payments.
