Adult Family Safeguarding Recovery Worker
The service
Portsmouth Children's Social Care is a dynamic service; family members, carers and staff at all levels come together to contribute to service design and delivery. We are committed to transparent and timely interventions and aspire for outstanding family and social work delivery. We have a learning culture through reflective practice opportunities and joined up working with local universities. We continue to embed Restorative Practice within our teams and with partners alike. As an extension of this approach, we are embedding a Family Safeguarding model, including adult mental health workers, domestic abuse and substance misuse recovery workers integrated together with children & family's social workers to support families.
The role
You will assess, plan and deliver interventions to parents/carers with substance misuse needs whose children are open to Children's Social Care. You will undertake assessments and reviews, provide specialist advice and guidance, and contribute to the 'Team Around the Worker' approach. You will ensure that people who experience substance use issues, together with domestic abuse and mental health needs, are provided with timely assessments and receive appropriate support.
