Contract: Established, Full Time
Hours: 37 hours per week
Salary: £34,788 - £38,813 per annum
Location: Primarily based at North Yorkshire County Council, Central Delivery Team, Racecourse Lane, Northallerton the role will include working across a range of geographical locations.
Our ambition is to improve outcomes for children and young people; we want to break the link between a person’s background and where they get to in life.
No Wrong Door – Strengthening Families Protecting Children (SFPC) programme is a pioneering way of providing support to young people who are within or on the edge of the care system across selected Local Authorities (LA’s).
The DfE have invested over £84 million over five years to support up to twenty LA’s to improve work with families and safely reduce the number of children entering care. North Yorkshire is immensely proud to be one of three authorities nationally to attract significant funding from the DfE’s SFPC programme and will extend NWD to six Local Authorities.
The objective of SFPC is to improve social work practice and decision making so that the best choices are made for every child, and overall results are improved. As well as better outcomes for children and families, which will be indicated by, among other things, contacts with police, health and schools, it is also hoped that the programme will lead to a reduction of demand at the critical end of the spectrum leading to a reduced spend on children’s social care.
We are looking for a Restorative Practice Relationships Worker who is equipped to take on a truly unique position like no other; who will develop strong, collaborative partnership approaches that supports young people to reduce offending, stay in their families, schools and communities and reduce the need for young people to become looked after.
Restorative practice is key to delivering the SFPC programme and the post holder will work closely with individual LA’s to champion and lead on the design, planning, implementation and embedding of Restorative Practice to build a consistent and sustainable service that focusses on developing restorative relationships and communities in other areas of the country.
Creating change requires both challenge and support; you will work closely with North Yorkshire’s Restorative Practice Service, Central Delivery Team and will develop and maintain multi-agency networks ensuring restorative practice is kept at the forefront of strategic developments and partner’s priorities.
