Cheshire West and Chester Council is a place where everyone can Thrive – through our core values of Teamwork, Honesty, Respect, Innovation, Value for Money and Empowerment.

About the Role

As a Family Help Lead Practitioner, you will work directly with children, young people and their families to provide early help and targeted support that improves outcomes and keeps children safe at home wherever possible.

You will:

Build strong, trusting relationships with children, young people and their families
Complete holistic, strengths-based assessments that recognise the lived experiences of children, including those with disabilities and additional needs
Work in a trauma-informed and relational way that keeps the child’s voice central
Develop and coordinate whole-family plans that are meaningful, achievable and focused on sustainable change
Deliver evidence-informed interventions that build resilience and strengthen family networks
Work closely with multi-agency partners, including education, health and community services
Advocate for children and families, helping them navigate systems and access the right support at the right time

This is a frontline role where your work has a real and visible impact—helping children live safely, flourish within their families, and experience stability and belonging.

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll be someone who:

Has experience working with children, young people and families in a supportive or safeguarding context
Brings a strong commitment to relational, strengths-based and trauma-informed practice
Can build rapport quickly and have honest, respectful and compassionate conversations
Is confident coordinating plans and working across multi-agency systems
Is reflective, resilient and motivated to continuously develop your practice

Most importantly:
We’re looking for people who genuinely care, people who see the child beyond circumstances or diagnosis, who are curious, empathetic and determined to make a difference.

Working with Children with Disabilities

In Cheshire West and Chester, we are ambitious for all children.

You will work with children and young people with a range of needs, including those with disabilities, ensuring that:

Their communication needs are understood and responded to
Their strengths, interests and identity are recognised and celebrated
Their voices shape the plans around them
Families are supported to navigate services and reduce barriers
Practice is inclusive, equitable and tailored to individual need

Your approach will recognise that families caring for children with disabilities may experience additional pressures—and you will work alongside them with sensitivity, respect and creativity.

Why Work With Us?

We know this is important and demanding work, so we are equally committed to supporting you.

You’ll benefit from:

Regular, meaningful supervision and a strong reflective culture
A supportive, team-based environment where colleagues look out for each other
Access to learning and development, including specialist training
Opportunities to grow and progress your career
Flexible working arrangements to support work-life balance
Generous annual leave and local government benefits

Above all, you’ll be part of a service that values relationships, prioritises children, and supports practitioners to do their best work.

Why This Work Matters

Children and families can face many challenges, especially when navigating complex systems or living with additional needs.

Your role will help ensure that:

Children’s voices are heard and valued
Families are empowered and supported
Barriers to support are reduced
Change is meaningful, sustainable and led with compassion

This is your opportunity to be part of something meaningful, challenging and deeply rewarding.

Interested?

If you’re looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference and be supported to do your best work, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and be part of a service that puts children, families and relationships first.
