Sustainable Network Coordinator
DIRECTORATE: Children and Adult Services
GRADE: Grade 10 (£35,070 to £41,718 pa)
LOCATION: Children’s Social Care
DIVISION / SECTION: Family Group Conference Service, Permanence Service
RESPONSIBLE TO: Family Group Conference Lead
This is an exciting time in Southwark! Southwark Council and Catch22 developed a joint bid for funding to the Department of Education for Children’s Social Care Innovation Programme to explore the development of a Care Leavers Partnership to improve the outcomes of care leavers in the Borough.
This unique role, employed by Southwark Council, for the Care Leavers Partnership, working from the heart of Southwark will plan, facilitate and lead the development and delivery of sustainable networks for young people leaving care in Southwark.
Family Group Conferences have not been traditionally offered to Care Leavers in Southwark, and it is recognised that this offer has the potential of increasing the support available to young people. We want to develop this concept for care leavers, focusing on supporting individuals to develop sustainable networks. The offer of sustainable network development meetings for young people is a part of the multi-level leaving care service re-design, which will be independently evaluated as part of the DofE innovation programme.
This is a unique role for an individual with a passion for improving the lives of children in care. Catch22 and Southwark are seeking a committed individual with energy and drive to lead the development of sustainable networks in the design of a new care leaver’s service in Southwark.
This is a fixed term position for 18 months, until September 2019.
Closing Date for applications: 15 April 2018
Shortlisting Date: 18 April 2018
Interview and Assessment: 24 April 2018
