About the role
As a Mental Health Family Help Practitioner, you will be working directly with families as part of a multi-agency partnership, taking a whole family approach to supporting them around their mental health and emotional wellbeing needs at an Early Help level.
Mental Health Family Help Practitioners will be an integral part of the formal FACT Family Help pilot activity in Warminster and Westbury. We are committed to developing and testing new ways of working so this is a great role for someone who is motivated not just by making a positive difference to families’ lives but also by creativity and innovation. We will seek out and share learning at key stages through the two year pilot period.
This post offers an exciting opportunity to play a key operational role in this multi-agency development and is an excellent chance to widen your experience in face to face delivery work and develop your skills in partnership and multiagency working.

Your track record will demonstrate tenacity and creativity when it comes to securing engagement and enabling change.
You will need to be passionate about this agenda and show insight into what matters for children, young people and families in the context of Early Help, mental health and emotional wellbeing. You will want to ensure their voices are at the heart of everything you do and to make a positive difference to their life chances.
We will look to you to be creative and solutions-focussed in your approach and be able to evidence a commitment to improving ways of working to achieve the best possible outcomes.
You will be able to evidence examples of where you have engaged positively with families as part of a multi-agency network to ensure that interventions are co-ordinated and effective.
If you wish to apply to the role as a secondment, your substantive manager must agree to you transferring. This agreement must be sought in principle before applying for the seconded role.
