Location: Taunton

Make a real difference to the lives of children with disabilities and their families by delivering practical, hands-on support where it matters most.

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.

This role is 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

The Family Intervention Worker provides focused, practical support to disabled children and their families who require Level 3 support within Somerset Council’s Effective Support for Children framework. Working closely with families, the role will be focused on assessing meaningful, hands-on interventions that help strengthen relationships, build confidence in parents and carers, and support them to meet their children’s needs in everyday home and community life.

Guided by the Think Family Approach, the role takes a whole-family view, working alongside other professionals through the Team Around the Child/Family process to ensure support is joined-up, responsive and centred on what matters most to each family. Through thoughtful assessment, planning and partnership working, the Family Intervention Worker plays an important part in helping children and young people feel included, safe and supported, while improving their overall wellbeing and life opportunities.
