Early Help Practitioner

Currently working with a number of London Local Authorities looking to bring on Early Help Practitioners into their childrens teams.

Previous Early Help experience or Family support experience is essential.

The Early Help Practitioner will play a key role in delivering early intervention and support services to children, young people, and families to improve their outcomes. By working collaboratively with families, schools, and other agencies, you will ensure that timely, targeted, and appropriate support is provided to reduce the need for statutory intervention.

• Work directly with families, children, and young people to assess their needs and develop tailored support plans.
• Deliver one-to-one or group-based interventions to address issues such as parenting, education, emotional well-being, and social development.
• Undertake holistic assessments of need, using tools such as the Early Help Assessment (EHA).
• Create action plans in collaboration with families and multi-agency partners to meet identified needs.
• Monitor and review progress, adapting plans as necessary to achieve outcomes.
• Work in partnership with schools, social services, health services, and other relevant agencies to coordinate and deliver a joined-up approach.
• Attend and contribute to multi-agency meetings, such as Team Around the Family (TAF) or child protection meetings.
• Identify and respond to safeguarding concerns in line with local policies and procedures.
• Escalate cases where necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of children and young people
