Support Worker

• Jul 2018 - Present

I am a support worker for WSCC where the majority of my work is with the Child Asylum Team (CAT) working to support unaccompanied minors. This involves assisting the social workers when the young people enter the UK, teaching them life skills and independence. I work with other agencies to support young people in placement and accompanying them to legal and home office interviews. I also work with the Adolescent And Family Resource Team (AFRT) to support children under the supervision of a social worker. This requires me to work with complex families adhering to care plans, safeguarding and SEN. This requires a high level of family working, multi agency working and communication skills. I also work with the Emergency Duty Team (EDT) working with young people in need of urgent assistance. Show less
