Do you have a real passion for making a difference to children and young people?

Would you like to be part of shaping an innovative keyworking support service for children and young people (CYP) in North East London?

We are looking for a Band 7 Senior Practitioner to support the new keyworking Service for children and young people (CYP) aged 0-25 years, who have learning disabilities and / or are autistic. The service will work with those who have the most complex needs and are either at risk of admission or an inpatient.

Candidates must have direct experience of working with families with children or adults who have complex needs with an ability to support families and young people to navigate through care systems and pathways. They must have an ability to empower parents/carers and individuals and to work in a co-productive style.

We expect candidates to have a level of personal authority with the confidence to champion the needs of our children and families, challenging the system to improve outcomes for our patients. You will drive forward actions / packages agreed by Education, Health, and Care Teams to avoid admission and to develop packages of support to ensure safe and stable support within the community instead.
