We are excited to invite individuals interested in applying to the Children and Families Hub to understand the vital role this team plays in supporting children and families in need.

The core function of the Hub involves screening referrals to assess both early help requests and safeguarding concerns. Using a range of screening tools, we carefully explore the needs and risks presented in each case, ultimately identifying the most appropriate and effective support for families in need.

The team is made up of a multi-agency workforce that includes 4 Team Managers, 12 Social Workers (some with specialisms such as No Recourse to Public Funds and Southwark Judgment), 3 Business Support Officers, and a Business Support Manager. Together, we work to deliver targeted, high-quality interventions for children and families.
