Further Information
We are looking for a creative and flexible facilitator with great listening skills to deliver Family Group Conferences (FGC) alongside our newly established Edge of Care Team in Darlington.
This is a great opportunity to be involved in the development of FGC and be part of a dedicated and passionate team. You will exercise a high degree of independence, initiative and expertise in order to deliver meetings which bring together families, community members and service providers to prevent children entering into care.
Your main responsibilities will be identifying and preparing attendees, planning and arranging the practicalities and convening FGC and review meetings. FGC's recognise the knowledge and expertise within families and are strengths based and solution focused. As such, you will have a strong belief in family led decision making and the value of relationships in order to support children, young people, their extended family networks, and professionals to fully participate in the FGC process.
You will need to be committed to improving outcomes for children and promote the child's wishes and feelings. You will develop good joint working partnerships, with Families, Children and Young People and their significant others, contributing to the development and implementation of the family plan. This may include you being willing to travel for visits or hold conferences in the evening or at weekends.
