We are near to marking a two-year anniversary of the Adult Early Help Service. The service was developed to respond to adults needs as they start to emerge and before meeting a higher threshold for statutory intervention. The service supports adults experiencing adversity and barriers to health and well-being. This service is designed to motivate and encourage resilience and independence to achieve good and sustainable outcomes to live a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.

The service sits within the Early Help and Prevention Division and is part of the wider wellbeing offer for adults, such as social prescribing, befriending, health champions and local navigators that operate within LA’s, Health and Voluntary and Community Sector. The investment into Adult Early Help is focused out diverting and delaying the need for costly statutory provision and interventions if they can be avoided.

Waltham Forest are now looking for an experienced Team Manager to oversee the work of the existing Team Leaders who manage case workers that provide a strengths-based approach to supporting people to achieve their goals using a range of person-centred interventions.

The role of the Team Manager will be to build on the success of the first two years by enhancing the reporting of data to support the case for Adult Early Help Delivery, identifying funding and opportunities to develop the broader offer of accessible Adult Early Help and targeted support, and continue to find creative ways of co-ordinating and collating the wider wellbeing offer to ensure Adults who are isolated and struggling can be supported through a network of support services and activities.
