Full job description

Permanent, Full Time (job share is available).

An exciting opportunity has arisen for family support workers to join the children in care teams, in our Through Care Service. We are expanding our service and have vacancies available.

The Through Care Service supports children and young people aged 0-25 and their families, through their journey in care and as care leavers.

We are a service of 11 teams, three have a focus on care leavers, the remainder on children in care, which includes two specialist teams for children aged 16 and 17 and for children arriving unaccompanied in the UK. There are seven children in care teams that are made up of a practice lead, five social workers, two family support workers and a unit coordinator.

We are based at B Bond in an open plan office overlooking the river and Ashton Court.

We have high aspirations for our children and young people and are committed to providing services to achieve the best possible outcomes.

You will be part of a larger group of 14 family support workers and will have the additional support of a senior family support worker.

The role of the family support worker is varied, and you will play a central role in building and maintaining relationships with children, their families and networks.

You will supervise family time between children and their families building happy and positive memories for them, supporting these to develop and progress over time to supported, unsupervised. Family time can take place in a centre, the community or the family home.

NOTE: you will be expected to transport children from their carers home to family time and home again, we have several pool cars for your use.

You will help children understand their journey into and through care, creating a narrative with children and their network. The work can be reactive and fast paced; sometimes our children and families can be sad and angry, and you will need the skills to respond to these situations.

You will need to be able to work flexibly, to work on your own, respond to changing demands and be able to challenge young people, professionals and families in a calm and assertive way. You will offer support to parents to improve the quality of their family time, looking at what went well and finding different ways of doing things when things don’t go well.

You will need excellent communication skills and the ability to form and maintain relationships with children and their families. Children are placed in and around our city and sometimes further afield so you may need to travel to see and support children. We have pool cars for you to use.

You will support social workers in their role working with children, carers, birth family and professionals.

Some of the family times you supervise will be after school hours. This means you will need to be prepared to work beyond 5pm some days.

You will be encouraged to manage your own diary to take back any time accrued.

The role demands a high standard of written work and IT capabilities. A good understanding of the needs of the children and families we work with is crucial.

‘This is a very rewarding, fun and sociable job’, ‘it felt such a privilege to sit and eat with the family during a family time’ quotes from family support workers.

Please note that this role is subject to an Enhanced DBS Check.
