Our Targeted Help Teams deliver intensive family support to children and families, preventing problems from escalating further where multiple vulnerabilities are present and family needs are complex.

You will be committed to working in child-focused and strengths-based way and will have an understanding of the positive impact of whole family approaches which prevent needs from escalating into statutory services. In return, you will be joining a service with a commitment to a ‘High Expectations, High Support, High Challenge’ culture, where we expect you to provide a high standard of support to our practitioners.
