About the Role

The Family Wellbeing Service Practitioner will work with families in partnership to empower and build agency, change and overcome their identified family challenges. The role is heavily outreach-based, engaging families in their homes, and translating initial engagement into a strong ongoing partnership. Once engaged, the role will not identify the family issues in a practitioner-led assessment, but deliver interventions that build family awareness and insight into their history and current family challenges so families can self-identify their key challenges and lead their own change.

Duties

• Provide high quality case management practices and record keeping that adhere to operational requirements.

• Facilitate a client-led assessment and Care Plan to identify the client's goals, including the entire family where appropriate.
• Provide role-specific targeted interventions and family-facilitated group meetings to achieve client goals.
• Commit to a high level of quality management using LogiQC and MobNet tasks.
• Cultivate productive working relationships to support internal and external collaboration, respect diversity and guide staff development.
