What You'll Be Doing / How You'll Be Involved

The Integrated Early Years' Service (Camden Sure Start)

You will be mainly based at one of Camden's 5 community Children's Centre's and Family Hubs. The Children Centre's offer is part of Camden's Early Help services which focuses on making interventions at an early stage once problems for children have begun but before they escalate. It involves taking a joined-up, multilevel, holistic approach to reduce the potential for poor long-term outcomes for children and their families.

Please note these posts are based at Camden's five children's centres and family hubs and staff may need to work from different venues to meet the needs of the service.

The integrated Family Support and Health Visiting teams deliver the Universal Healthy Child Programme and targeted interventions for children and their mums, dads, and carers, from pregnancy to age five years.

The emphasis is on prevention, early intervention, and whole-family assessment, using the common assessment framework (CAF).

Through universal screening, the Health Visiting teams identify children, mums, dads and carers with additional needs and provide support to improve outcomes and reduce inequality. The multi-agency teams consist of Family Support and Health Visiting as well as a range of multi-disciplinary expertise, including CAMHS, Speech and Language Therapy, Welfare Rights Advice, Employment and Training support and Housing advice.

Families in Focus

Camden Early Help focuses on family and being there when families are experiencing things that are starting to feel overwhelming. Early Help is for families with children of any age, from

0 to 19 and is a voluntary service. Every family we work with is unique. We work with families experiencing relationship breakdown or conflict, violence in the home, children showing distressed behaviour, support for first time parents, housing, rent or money worries, difficulties at school, worries about a child's health or development, managing changes in circumstances, grief and bereavement, and mental health problems. Often, it's a combination of many things. But whatever it is that families want to change, we are here to work with them - to help them to get to where they want to be.

The Family Support and Complex Families Teams within Early Help provide emotional and practical support to families. Our core values are to act with purpose, acceptance, curiosity, determination, compassion and empathy. We aim to build helpful relationships to create the conditions for change, empower parents to make a change in their families and in their community and for families to leave us stronger than when they found us.

We focus on prevention, early intervention and whole-family assessment, using the principles from the common assessment framework (CAF).

We have an ambitious vision for children and families in the borough in which services are developed and delivered through strong relationships between GPs, education providers, Family Workers, Job Centre Plus, primary schools, voluntary sector organizations and parents. Based on local need, services are delivered from a range of locations.
