The Family Help Service is an integrated preventive service that brings together advanced social work practitioners, social work practitioners and family help practitioners, working alongside one another to offer support to children and families in need that require a range of coordinated interventions from targeted early help through to child protection.

You will be joining a service that has high standards, values professional curiosity, collective accountability and innovation, creating the conditions for everyone to do their best work to achieve positive outcomes for children and families.
