Family Help Adviser - #2084258

Cardiff Family Advice and Support is an innovative and progressive service within the directorate of Children’s Services in Cardiff Council. Accredited with a Families First Quality Award, the service provides high quality information, advice and assistance for children, young people, families and professionals across the city.

The service utilises a family centred, strengths based and inclusive approach, to identify the most appropriate support that will meet the wellbeing needs of both individuals and the family as a whole. The teams within the service work collaboratively with a range of professionals and partners to ensure support is at the right level and at the right time.

About the job

We are seeking to appoint a Grade 6 Family Help Adviser to provide information, advice and assistance for children, young people and their families either in their home or in community venues. Without the support that a Family Help Advisor can provide, families may require support that is more intensive or escalate to statutory safeguarding services.

We will offer you:

• A friendly and supportive working environment.

• Regular support and supervision to support you in your work.

• A wide and extensive training programme with opportunities to train in specific areas.

• Systems and technology which enable and promote hybrid working.

• An opportunity to deliver a face-to-face service to infants, children, young people and their parents/carers that makes a difference to them and their wellbeing.

What We Are Looking For From You

The successful candidate should have:

• Enthusiasm and motivation.

• Resilience and the ability to respond positively under pressure.

• A passion for making a difference to the lives of families across the city.

• An ability to problem solve and to navigate complex support systems.

• Excellent communication, active listening, negotiation and mediation skills, as well as the ability to develop rapport and maintain good professional relationships with service users.

• Experience of identifying and assessing needs, delivering short-term interventions and ensuring that the individuals they are working with feel empowered to find solutions.

• The ability to prioritise and adapt to the needs of the service.

• An in-depth and current knowledge of services that support families.

• A sound working knowledge of Microsoft software.

The right individual will have an awareness of:

• Early attachment

• Adverse Childhood Experiences

• The Councils’ safeguarding policies, and the ability to understand whether an individual is at risk, and therefore able to consult and liaise with Social Workers/other professionals or partner agencies, as required.

• School attendance and well-being policies

• Housing, welfare and entitlements for families

• Parenting interventions

• Using specific techniques such as Signs of Safety, Motivational Interviewing and person-centred practice

This is a great opportunity to become part of the Cardiff Family Advice and Support, using your skills to support positive outcomes for children, young people and their families.
