Hub Worker – Children With Disabilities

We have ambitious plans to shape how we work with families, placing practitioners and relationship-based practice at the heart of what we do. Through Vital Signs, our vision for Children in Norfolk, we work with whole family networks and across the whole system to support families to build on their strengths and to achieve the best possible outcomes.

The Springwood Hub supports young people who are within or on the edge of the care system. This central hub is designed to provide intensive short-term interventions to prevent entry into care, escalation to long term care, prevent placement breakdown or facilitate placement step downs.

We are looking for a Hub Worker to undertake a key role with young people, ensuring that their views and wishes are sought and acted upon and maintain the relationship through key transitions.

You will contribute to the care planning process by participating in statutory reviews, planning meetings, and progress meetings as required, will undertake ‘sleep-in’ duties as and when required and will provide outreach support for young people and families.

To join the Springwood Hub, you will need a good level of literacy and numeracy, a willingness to undertake relevant training courses and the ability to form effective relationships with children.

We will support you to attain a level 3 Diploma in Residential Care, which must be successfully completed within 18 months of appointment.

More than anything, you will have a passion to support young people, be a good listener, have patience, understanding and really want to support young people so they can achieve the best possible outcomes in life.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to develop or change their career and is looking to make a real difference to the lives of young people.
