• You will record all casework on the EHM case management IT system to support the audit and quality assurance of the service and ensure there is evidence of successful outcomes to inform our government led reporting requirements.

Requirements:

• You will need to be comfortable working with parents/carers, children and young people from diverse backgrounds and have a sound knowledge of safeguarding responsibilities and child development.

• You will need to be confident and competent in IT skills to meet the reporting and recording demands of the role.
