Job Title: Herfordshire Keyworker Starting Salary: £38,220 progressing to £41,771 pa per annum (pro rata for part time) Hours: 37.0 (Min 30 hours or job share considered) Location: Stevenage with travel in and out of county Contract Type: Permanent Directorate: Childrens Services<h4>About the team</h4>Hertfordshire’s Keyworker Offer are pleased to be able to recruit a Learning Disability and Autism (LDA) Keyworker to join the first approved and established keyworker offer, joining an award-winning team of innovative practitioners.We offer personalised, informed-consent approaches, to children, young people, and young adults up to age 25, who are on Hertfordshire’s Dynamic Support Register, due to being deemed at risk of an admission to a mental health hospital or already in a mental health hospital.Keyworkers are not led by statutory duties but of course work within the statutory system. We have time to build relationships with those who may be described as ‘disengaged.’ The child, young person, or adult, may be in crisis and as such will need a unique and personalised approach to enable them to make progress.The keyworker role is dynamic, personalised, and led by the goals of the matched child, young person, or adult. We walk alongside the child, young person, or adult, and always aim to ‘do with, and not to.’<h4>About the role</h4>Keyworkers plan their own weekly diaries and visits, and co-produce ideas and approaches with children and young people, working alongside a range of social care, health, and education professionals, to bring those who we work with ‘into the room.’ No day is the same, and you will have matched children, young people, and adults, some of which you will see at the same time every week or fortnight, others whenever you are able. The journey with all the children, young people, and adults is unique, as you walk alongside them to gather a better understanding of individual needs. Although we are not a crisis team, we are dynamic and responsive. Having the skill to build trust with our children, young people, and adults, is key to the role as you will often find yourself lone-working and flexing to meet the needs of the individual. Main Areas of Responsibility: <ul><li>Personalised work with Children, Young People and Young Adults (up to 25) who are on Hertfordshire’s Dynamic Support Register (DSR).</li><li>To co-produce ‘All About Me’ and outcome-based goal personalised plans which are strengths and evidenced based and linked to the DSR personal budget, alongside the existing CETR Action Plan.</li><li>Drive and implement innovative personalised approaches, coordinate Integrated Personal Planning, and s.117 discharge plans encouraging creative solutions to support individual needs.</li><li>To support Children, Young People and their families at Care Education and Treatment Reviews (CETR’s), Care Programme Approach (CPAs) Meetings, and Mental Health Act (MHA) Tribunals, and ward rounds.</li><li>Be part of Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs) where applicable, and be part of Child Protection Strategy discussions, initial/ongoing Child Protection Care Conferences, Core Groups, if applicable, as well as Child in Need Meetings and other multi-agency meetings.

Keyworkers may be a Social Worker, Mental Health Nurse and or Learning Disability Nurse, Clinical/Counselling/Educational Psychologist, Teacher, Family Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Child Psychotherapist, or other relevant equivalent qualification. Keyworkers may also be alternatively qualified professionals, who have significant relevant skills and experience for this challenging dynamic role and are also welcome and encouraged to apply. This role calls for innovative ways of working and to show an ability to work in a personalised way. The role also involves a significant amount of lone working, although it is not clinical or statutory, the LDA Keyworker is often the professional the matched CYP/Adult confides in. Although risk(s) are held by statutory teams and networks, LDA keyworkers often hold the relevant information and need to share all safety information with networks and follow all statutory processes. As the professional with the positive relationship with the CYP/Adult, this role can be satisfying, as well as intense, and sometimes, frustrating. You'll need to be resilient, be able to share information and seek support from the team through the various support systems in place within the team.

How to Apply

We ask all applicants to apply through SAMpeople Recruit/Face-Ed; our recruitment software. This enables us to efficiently carry out our safer recruitment checks, but we recognise it can take some time for the applicant. The good news is, you will only need to register for Face-Ed once to apply for any role in the Halliard Trust's 11 schools.

Our top tips for a painless process are as follows:

<ol>
<li>Because Face-Ed is cloud based software, it is possible for you to experience a break in connection and you won't necessarily know about it straight away. We therefore strongly recommend that you prepare your main application content in a different package like MS Word/Notepad and copy and paste it into your Face-Ed application form in the relevant sections.</li>
<li>If you get a message saying "Validation Error" it isn't a software fault. It means you have entered data in a format that wasn't expected and it is causing a problem with saving. This might mean you have entered words in a box that expects numbers, for example.</li>
</ol>



Why work for the Halliard Trust?

Who we are
We educate over 5,000 children and employ 800 teaching and support staff to deliver our vision to ensure every student leaves school with the values, skills, qualities and aptitudes to thrive in society combined with highest possible learning outcomes.

The Trust has grown organically to three secondary and seven primary schools based in Cheshire.

Our commitment and passion, and the core purpose in all that we do in the Halliard Trust, are to create the conditions for each child to be the very best that they can be. We believe our staff are the most important resource and key to this endeavour. Bringing together capacity, skills, and the talents of our teams enables us to work together to transform the lives of young people. In order to attract and retain the best people to work with our children, we aim to ensure deliver opportunities to encourage and support every individual to develop themselves to achieve their full potential.
