SEND EHC Coordinator

The National Referral Mechanism is a vital framework designed to identify and support victims of human trafficking and modern slavery. NRMs play a crucial role in ensuring that children who are at risk or who have experienced exploitation receive the appropriate protection and assistance. The primary objective of NRMs is to streamline and coordinate the efforts of various stakeholders, such as law enforcement agencies, social services, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other relevant bodies, to provide a comprehensive response to human trafficking and modern slavery and ensure the safeguarding of the child.The context in which NRMs operate is often complex and multifaceted. Human trafficking and modern slavery are crimes that can have far-reaching consequences, impacting not only the individuals directly involved but also their families, communities, and societies at large. The victims of these crimes are often vulnerable individuals who may be subjected to physical and psychological abuse, forced labour, sexual exploitation, and other forms of coercion. The hidden nature of these crimes makes it challenging to identify victims and provide them with the necessary support. The National Referral Mechanism identifies and protects victims of exploitation, including children at risk.

Keyworker - 12 month maternity cover (with the potential to be made permanent)
The Wirral Autism &amp; Learning disabilities Keyworker (WALK) team is excited to announce that we have a new Keyworker post available to expand our current small team. The successful applicant will be employed in the Family Help Department of Wirral Council and funded by NHS England. Our team seeks to improve outcomes and life experiences for those aged 0-25 with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism and we were established in September 2022.
The NHS Long Term Plan outlines the commitment for all children and young people with a learning disability, autism, or both with the most complex needs to have a designated keyworker.
The WALK team aims to provide a new way of multi-agency working. Our work is targeted specifically to support individuals (0-25 years old, inclusive) who are diagnosed with autism and/or learning disabilities to reduce their risk of requiring inpatient mental health support, prolonged stays in a mental health hospital, or placement breakdown. This may include working with individuals who face multiple needs and vulnerabilities such as being a ‘looked after’ or adopted, are in transition between services, or are at risk of youth offending.
About the Role
This role will include working holistically and closely with young people with autism and/or learning disabilities and their families, as well as professionals from across the system. The WALK team is guided by the Dynamic Support Database (DSD) function which is held and maintained by our team. The DSD facilitates an effective multi-disciplinary/multi-agency team around the child working to address risks and meet needs.
There will be a caseload to manage in terms of supporting other professionals to collaborate and undertake agreed actions in a timely fashion, supported by your fellow keyworkers and the WALK Team Leader. Key workers will also help to organise and support Community (Education) Treatment Reviews when necessary for their cases.
About the Candidate
The successful candidate will be required to support individuals transitioning from children to adult services, ensuring their needs are still able to be met within their local community and facilitating good links during and after this transition. Specific experience of mental health support when working with children and/or adults is a highly desirable attribute for this role, and/or lived experience. Confidence in using digital platforms such as Microsoft Office and recording systems (such as Liquid Logic) is desirable, although training on Local Authority specific systems will be provided.
For an informal chat about the role, please contact Kerry Macfarlane on 07715 005 410 or email <a href="mailto:walk@wirral.gov.uk" target="_blank">walk@wirral.gov.uk</a>
