Each case will be holistically framed and can be formulation led, with interventions bespoke to the young person. The outcomes of the service for the young person will be centred on the goals that the young person sets for themselves.
You will be responsible for delivering and improving services for vulnerable children /young people through the provision of high-quality plans for children where the exploitation is outside of the home. You will be responsible for co-working high risk/complex cases.
You will work with the ROTH Coordinator to embed the service across Childrens Social Care. You will hold a relevant professional qualification and have a comprehensive knowledge of Safeguarding legislation and ROTH.
