The team is well respected and sits in the Community Protection directorate. It is currently looking for an experienced Resilience Officer to help provide expertise, advice and support on emergency planning and business continuity to all county council directorates and a wide range of internal and external stakeholders. The team is small and friendly, and the postholder will work closely alongside two other Resilience Officers and two colleagues who support the Local Resilience Forum and wider work of the team. About the role The team is somewhat unique in having an internal and external focus so the role is a varied one with access to a wide range of different people and stakeholders. Whilst it can be pressured and demanding at times it also provides a rare opportunity to experience some more interesting and unusual aspects of working for a local authority. Each day can be very different to the next. At times it can be fast-paced and you may be working in a pressured environment, responding to an emergency or undertaking a shift on the 24/7 duty rota.

About you There is no typical day as a Resilience Officer and you will need to be comfortable with routine changes, often at short notice. Ultimately, we are looking for somebody who is pro-active, can work as part of a team, can communicate effectively, and has the confidence to work with and challenge colleagues at different levels of seniority. The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate:<ul>\n<li>A degree or equivalent level qualification in a related subject and/or experience of working in a similar role.</li>\n<li>Knowledge of the Civil Contingencies Act.</li>\n<li>Understanding of emergency planning or business continuity in a local authority or public sector context.</li>\n<li>Ability to build and maintain effective working relationships.</li>\n<li>Can manage multiple tasks and prioritise their own workload independently.</li>\n<li>A driving licence and access to a car as there will be a need to visit locations across Hertfordshire and beyond.</li>\n<li>Ability to undertake the 24/7 duty function on a rota basis, for which additional payment is made.</li>\n<li>Live locally, within a reasonable travel time of the main base or are prepared to relocate.</li>\n</ul>We welcome applications from candidates who currently reside in the UK with established proof of right to work documentation.

We offer personalised, informed-consent approaches to children, young people, and young adults up to age 25, who are on Hertfordshire's Dynamic Support Register, due to being deemed at risk of an admission to a mental health hospital. Keyworkers are not led by statutory duties but of course work within the statutory system. We have time to build relationships with those who have often been described as 'disengaged.' The child, young person or adult may be in crisis, and as such will need a unique and personalised approach to enable them to make progress. The keyworker role is dynamic and led by the goals of the matched child, young person, or adult. We walk alongside the child, young person, or adult, and always aim to 'do with, and not to.' About the role Keyworkers plan their own weekly diaries and visits, and co-produce ideas and approaches with children and young people, working alongside a range of social care, health, and education professionals in networks to bring those who we work with into the room. No day is the same, and you will have matched children, young people, and adults, some of which you will see at the same time every week or fortnight, others whenever you are able. The journey with all the children, young people, and adults is unique, as you walk alongside them to gather a better understanding of individual needs. Although we are not a crisis team, we are dynamic and responsive. Having the skill to build trust with our children, young people, and adults, is key to the role as you will often find yourself lone-working and flexing to meet the needs of the individual. Main Areas of Responsibility:<ul>\n<li>To work intensively with Children and Young People who are on the Dynamic Support Register (DSR).</li>\n<li>To increase the skills of front-line professionals, collaborate with them and challenge the system.</li>\n<li>To co-produce personalised All About Me plans, which are strengths-based.</li>\n<li>To work with partners in Integrated Personal Planning and S117 funding to develop creative solutions to individual needs.</li>\n<li>Drive and implement innovative personalised approaches, including keyworker budgets.</li>\n<li>Be actively involved in multi-agency meetings and support the production of needs and outcomes-based Action Plans with timescales or update the existing CETR Action Plan.</li>\n<li>To support Children, Young People and their families at Care Education and Treatment reviews (CETR's), Care Programme Approach (CPA) Meetings, and Mental Health Act (MHA) Tribunals, if applicable, as well as Child in Need Meetings and other multi-agency meetings.</li>\n<li>Be part of Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs) where applicable, and be part of Child Protection Strategy discussions, initial/ongoing Child Protection Care Conferences, Core Groups, as well as supporting with any youth offending meetings and processes, if applicable, while demonstrating a high level of professional practice.</li>\n</ul>Please see the attached additional information document for further details about this innovative and exciting role.

Identifying themes, blocks and gaps in service offers and bringing these to the attention of the DSR. Whilst at the same time 'thinking together' to overcome these and provide a personalised approach to meet need, reduce risk, prevent crisis, and further escalation. Keyworkers are unique, and do not replace or emulate a support worker or carer role; they are required to navigate statutory systems for both children, young people, and adults, support personalised planning and communication needs, and in most instances advocate for their matched individual. They need to be skilled in relationship building, 'thinking together' with multidisciplinary teams to problem solve and reduce risks and improve support planning for their matched young people and adults.
