Are you an experienced Hi Intensity therapist looking to support families to help them remain and stay together? Dorset Council's Safeguarding Families Together team has an opportunity for you.
The Safeguarding Families Together (SFT) approach recognises the importance of adult workers to work across the service to support bringing about changes to children and families' lives. SFT is a strength-based model, and a way of working with families so that wherever possible they can stay together, and children can remain safely at home. It will help families to identify what changes could be made in their daily life and provide the dedicated support to enable them to achieve this. One of the principles of the service is the use of 'motivational interviewing' techniques to motivate parents to make and maintain changes, reducing the risk of significant harm to children.
It also means that the responsibility for a family is shared among a team of professionals, reducing the risk placed on any one individual. Instead, social workers, Child and Family Workers, domestic abuse practitioners & officers, recovery workers, mental health practitioners, and psychologists all work closely together to support families and keep children safe. All workers participate in group supervision, contributing to analysis and decision-making.
Main duties of the job
Work in a co-located MDT team with Social Care Practitioners and:
Domestic Abuse Officer Probation Officer Probation Service Officer Domestic Abuse Practitioner Drug & Alcohol Worker Mental Health Workers
The teams will work together to support families to stay together where it is safe to do so. Our approach is to support families using a technique of motivational interviewing and CBT, which is designed to empower and engage parents to make the positive changes needed to achieve improved outcomes for their children and their own wellbeing. By meeting the complex needs of the adults, we can reduce the risk to children.
Attend Group case management supervision in an MDT team with social workers, substance misuse workers, and DV workers.
Provide trauma-focused CBT treatment in patient homes using evidenced-based models.
Receive clinical supervision.
This is a fixed-term role, and for those with current NHS service, the role will be offered on a secondment basis only. Please obtain permission to be released on a secondment before submitting an application.
