About the team:
Every day is different within the fast paced assessment team. This team completes a range of assessments, conducts section 47 enquiries and establishes whether longer term plans are needed for families. 
The priority for this team is assessing what is needed to support children and families, if anything and then moving this support to the right team.  Families will be transferred to our family support teams if intervention is longer than 3 months.
You will need to be able to offer, empathetic support to families who have just been referred in to Child and Young People Services.  Families in these circumstances are often in crisis and as such workers need to be calm, and child focused when things are unpredictable
