  A new and exciting service has been co created between Barnardo's, Eikon and NAS. Funded by Surrey and Borders NHS Trust and sitting under Surrey Wellbeing Partnership, the support provided by this new service lies under the Mindworks Alliance.
The service is appointing two practitioners (PW2s) and one admin with team manager, and CSM oversight. The service is based in Mole Valley, Reigate and Banstead, Tandridge and Epsom and Ewell. The practitioners will be sitting in the school based needs cluster meetings providing neurodevelopmental support to professionals, school and children and young people. The practitioners will be running a pilot 5 week programme for parents and carers within the schools in the named boroughs and also some training days offered to professionals., We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people. For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay., At Barnardo's we believe in children - no matter who they are, what they have done or what they have been through.
