Full job description

Date: 24 Jul 2026

Location: Shepton Mallet, GB, BA4 5BT

#job-location.job-location-inline { display: inline; }

Company: Somerset Council

Closing Date: 06/08/2026

Salary: Grade 12 - The remuneration package for this role is £32,584 to £36,047 per annum for 37 hours per week (remuneration package includes a £3,986 recruitment allowance per annum, until 31/08/2028).

We have several permanent and fixed-term positions available across Somerset within Prevention and Social Work teams.

At Somerset Council, we are proud to be on an ambitious journey to transform how we support children and families across the county. As part of our Families First Partnership programme, we are reshaping services to ensure families receive the right help, at the right time, in the right way—working together with partners across social care, education, Police, health, and communities.

This is a significant and exciting period of change. We are developing a more connected, relationship-based system that puts children, young people and families at the centre—strengthening early help, enhancing multi-agency working, and supporting more children to grow up safely within their families and communities.

To help us deliver this transformation, we are recruiting to several roles across Children’s Services, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to meaningful, long-term change and be part of a workforce committed to improving outcomes for Somerset’s children and families.

We have several permanent positions and several roles that will be offered on a fixed-term basis for two years, aligned to the delivery of our transformation programme. During this time, you will play a key part in shaping new ways of working, embedding innovation, and helping us build a sustainable system that makes a lasting difference.

If you are motivated by improving outcomes, thrive in a collaborative environment, and want to be part of a service that is evolving and forward-thinking, we would love to hear from you.

Role Summary

As a Family Intervention Worker, you will act as a key worker for children, young people and their families, providing focused, child-centred support tailored to individual needs. You will build strong, trusting relationships to assess family strengths and challenges, deliver creative and evidence-based interventions, and coordinate the right support at the right time to improve stability and outcomes for children.

Working closely with families and partner agencies, you will help reduce risk, prevent escalation into statutory services, and support children to remain safely at home or return home when possible. The role includes managing risk, maintaining high-quality case records, contributing to multi-agency planning, and responding to crisis situations for young people aged 10 and above, ensuring timely and effective support when it matters most.

What you’ll do – key responsibilities

Assess children and families and co-create clear, outcome-focused intervention plans with families and partner agencies.
Work intensively with children aged 10+ and families with complex needs to keep children safe at home, support reintegration and prevent escalation into statutory services.
Deliver strengths-based, evidence-led interventions while actively identifying and managing risk.
Act as key worker for a caseload, working closely with social care, education, health and other partners.
Review progress, record outcomes clearly and contribute to reports and multi-agency meetings.
Take part in an out-of-hours rota, including evenings, weekends and Rapid Response crisis work.
Promote and safeguard the welfare of children and young people.

What we're looking for

We are looking for professionals who have experience of working with children, young people and families, particularly those with complex needs and where there is a risk of family breakdown, care entry or safeguarding concerns.

You will have:
A good standard of education (minimum Level 3 qualification or equivalent) and a relevant qualification or experience in working with children, young people, parents or families.
Experience of working directly with children, young people and families, including those experiencing crisis, conflict, challenging behaviour or multiple and complex needs.
A sound understanding of adolescent risk, family functioning, safeguarding, and the factors that can lead to family breakdown or children becoming accommodated.
Experience of assessing needs, identifying strengths and risks, and developing outcome-focused plans that improve safety, stability and wellbeing for children and families.
The ability to build effective relationships with children, young people and families, using a strengths-based and restorative approach to achieve positive change.
Experience of working in partnership with social care, education, health and other agencies to coordinate support and achieve improved outcomes.
Confidence in managing risk, maintaining accurate case records, contributing to reports and attending multi-agency meetings.
Strong communication, organisational and IT skills, together with a commitment to continuous professional development and high-quality practice.

2-year fixed term until 31/08/2028
37-hour positions at Shepton Mallet

You will need to be able to travel to meet the requirements of this role and be available to work evenings and weekends on a rota basis
