As a Family Support Worker, you will play a crucial role in providing support to families in need of Early Help, with a focus on a whole family approach.

In this role, you will work as part of a team to provide parenting support, offer advice and guidance to families and professionals, and maintain contact as the Lead Professional. You will need to have experience of direct work with children, assessing levels of needs, providing direct support to families in their homes and within school settings, and multi-agency partnership working.
To be successful in this role, you will need to have an NVQ Level 3 in Child Care and Education, Youth services, Health and Social Care, or equivalent HCPC. A DBS check and references will also be required.
This is an excellent opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of families in need, and to gain valuable experience in a challenging and rewarding role. Plus, with Liverpool City Council's overtime rates now aligned with those of permanent employees, you can be sure that your hard work will be rewarded.
