Description
St Helens Council is seeking expressions of interest to provide support for a mother (under the supervision of Childrens Services) and her new born baby as follows:
Flexible support but will require twice daily visits, including weekends varied over the week. Total time 4 hours per day.
·Support in managing a tenancy - budgeting skills, managing bills, purchasing appliances etc
Support in accessing baby groups in the local community
Support in accessing DV programme
Support in parenting skills; ensuring Mum is meeting Babys' needs, routines in place
Befriending support - Mum can feel quite isolated at times and consequently doesn't attend to her own medical needs and seek medical advice when required
Support in following processes to manage her current relationship and her relationships with her family members
This support would be required in twice daily visits at first for a period of two hours for each visit.
The visits would need to be both announced and unannounced and at different times of the day; first thing in a morning, evening and midday.
It would be preferable not to have numerous different people visiting as mum needs to be able to build and maintain positive relationships with professionals.
It is anticipated that the support will be on a long term basis
The support is required within the next 4 - 5 weeks but can be extended by a few weeks for the most suitable provider
Please reply via The Messaging facility on The Chest to register your interest and receive further in depth information no later than 15:00 hours on Friday 5th August 2016
