The Childrens Directorate believes that Kirklees children and
young people matter. The service areas are committed to
working with our partners to deliver the five outcomes of the
Every Child Matters framework: being healthy, staying safe,
enjoying and achieving, making a positive contribution and
achieving economic wellbeing. The Childrens Directorate
consists of the Learning Service and Family Support and Child
Protection Service.
The Service operates from 9.00am to 9.00pm across 7 days a
week; you will work on a rota basis including weekends and
Public Holidays for which any relevant enhancements will be

Through a joint Health and Social Care approach to targeting
patients in Accident & Emergency (A&E) Departments more
people will have their acute health and social care needs
managed within primary care and will avoid emergency and
non-elective admissions by the provision of interim Health and
Social Care Services at the point of entry.
The Service will offer a quick response which will lead to people
being returned home with support tailored to their needs and
where necessary, alternative accommodation being offered
rather than an acute hospital bed. You will be working with
people who attend the Accident and Emergency Department or
Medical Assessment Unit who after medical assessment do not
need admittance but there are significant obstacles for their
return home.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, flexible and confident
person who have some experience of working in a caring

You will work as part of the Early Intervention and Targeted
Support Service which provides a range of integrated services
to vulnerable children, young people and their families. This
includes a range of universal and targeted support across the
pre-birth to 19 years age range.
This role is integral to the production of high quality
performance data and meaningful management information to
inform service delivery and provide evidence for inspection
regimes. Excellent communication skills are key, as the role
also involves supporting staff to access, understand and make
effective use of data and information relating to families
accessing or referred for services.
You need to hold an advanced GNVQ or A Level in Data
Management (or related areas e.g. ICT) or demonstrate the
ability to work at that level. You must have the ability to query
and extract data from complex databases, along with up-to-date
knowledge of MS Excel in order to manipulate the data to
produce accessible performance and management information.
You also need to have experience of developing strategies to
address data quality and data integrity.
An enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check will be
required for this job. A conviction may not exclude candidates
from appointment but will be considered as part of the
