Job description

We’re looking for a dedicated and compassionate Family Worker to join our Family Help Service, supporting children, young people and families to achieve positive and lasting outcomes.

To work as part of a Family Help team providing effective family support interventions.

To work with and support a caseload of families to achieve positive outcomes, undertaking whole family assessments, enabling Family Led Decision Making and team around the family meetings, co-producing outcomes-focused plans with the young person/family to conduct reviews to ensure positive and sustained progress is being made.

Act as the main point of contact and advocate for families needing support, coordinating services to address needs early and prevent escalation. Build trusting, culturally humble relationships, working closely with young people and families, in partnership, to ensure all family members’ needs are met in the context of Reading’s Practice Framework.

We seek the best talent from the widest pool of people as diversity and inclusion is the key to our success. Reading Borough Council is a Disability Confident Employer and is committed to the recruitment and continued employment of people with disabilities.

About the role

You’ll play a hands-on role supporting families with a range of needs, working collaboratively to improve outcomes and prevent issues from escalating.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

Holding a caseload and acting as the Lead Practitioner for families

Undertaking whole family assessments and developing outcome focused plans

Delivering direct work and evidence-based interventions with children, young people and parents

Facilitating Team Around the Family (TAF) meetings and supporting family led decision making

About you

You’ll be passionate about supporting families and confident working in a fast-paced environment with children, young people and parents facing a range of challenges. You’ll be someone who builds trust easily, stays calm under pressure and is motivated to make a real difference.

You’ll bring:

A Level 3 qualification (or equivalent) and relevant parenting programme training

Experience working with children, young people and families in a support setting

Experience within a safeguarding and multi-agency environment

Strong assessment, planning and organisational skills

The ability to manage a caseload and prioritise effectively

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

Confidence delivering group work and structured interventions

A resilient, solution-focused approach, particularly in challenging situations

The ability to work collaboratively with partners and colleagues

A strong commitment to inclusion, equality and continuous professional development

You’ll be part of a team that relies on each individual to play their part to the best of their ability. As well as the colleagues that you work closely with every day, you’ll also be part of Team Reading, playing your personal part in making Reading a successful and vibrant place.

Our vision is to ensure that Reading realises its potential as a great place to live, work and play, and that everyone shares the benefits of this success. Our values and behaviours guide how we will achieve this:

Work Together as one team - work collaboratively, with each other and with our partners, and demonstrate the Team Reading values in everything we do

Drive Efficiency - show initiative, be adaptable to change and put forward ideas to help improve delivery and efficiency. Take responsibility for our own learning and development and for reaching our potential

Be Ambitious - be demanding of our own performance – striving to be even better – and be prepared to engage with and challenge leaders in a constructive and positive way

Make a Difference to Reading - maintain the highest levels of customer service and be flexible and willing to provide the services needed at the time they are needed

Our offer

We offer a supportive environment to grow and develop your career with the opportunity to put your ideas across. Innovation and ambition is strongly encouraged, and you’ll get a great feel for that working in our friendly and collaborative environment.

A competitive salary alongside a range of benefits including:

Generous holiday entitlement - 25 days holiday each year plus bank holidays - rising to 30 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years' service, with the option to buy additional leave
