The Role:

As a Child and Family Support Worker, you'll play a vital role within Hampshire County Council's Children's Reception Team, the front door to Children's Services. Working in a fast-paced contact centre environment, you'll help ensure vulnerable children, young people and families receive the right support at the right time. By working closely with families, professionals and partner agencies, you'll contribute to informed decision-making that helps improve outcomes for children and families across Hampshire.

What you’ll do:

Receive and respond to referrals, enquiries and requests for support from professionals, families and members of the public.
Gather, review and accurately record information to support screening, decision-making and recommendations.
Use a child-centred approach to identify and analyse strengths, needs and potential risks, making sound recommendations in line with safeguarding procedures and threshold guidance.
Build effective relationships with families, colleagues and partner agencies to support positive outcomes and timely access to services.
Provide a professional, responsive service, maintaining accurate records and working in line with organisational policies and professional standards.

What we’re looking for:

Experience of working with children, young people and families in a helping, caring or support-based role, including those with complex needs.
Understanding of child protection legislation, statutory guidance and local safeguarding procedures.
Strong communication, relationship-building and negotiation skills, with the ability to manage sensitive conversations confidently.
Ability to organise information, identify key issues and exercise sound judgement when reviewing referrals and enquiries.
Sound IT skills and the ability to accurately record information.

Take a look at our Candidate Pack for more information about the Child and Family Support Worker role, team and our values. The ‘About you’ section explains what specific knowledge, skills and experience we want you to tell us about. Make sure you explain how you meet these requirements and demonstrate our values, in your application.

Why join us?

Make a meaningful difference to the lives of children, young people and families by supporting timely decision-making and positive outcomes.
Join a supportive and collaborative team committed to professional development, high-quality practice and continuous learning.
Access to Health Assured's comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme to support your physical and mental wellbeing, including 24/7 telephone support, a suite of online resources, and legal and financial advice.
