Full job description

We have a fantastic job opening for an enthusiastic and motivated, Young Carers Family Support Navigator to join our dynamic, creative and supportive Children & Young Adult Carers team.

Summary

The Young Carers Family Support Navigator will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between families, schools, and services. The postholder will deliver compassionate, practical, and outcomes-focused support to families of young carers—helping them to overcome barriers, strengthen relationships, and access the resources they need to thrive.

Main purpose of role:

· To provide holistic, family-centred, and trauma-informed support to young carers and young adult carers (aged 5–25) and their families.

· To act a key link between home, school, health, and social care—advocating for families and ensuring young carers receive the right support to thrive.

· To reduce the impact of caring responsibilities by improving family relationships, school attendance, wellbeing, and access to support.

· To provide early intervention and practical assistance for families facing hardship, ensuring they are aware of and can access financial, emotional, and community support.

· To strengthen family resilience and help young carers develop emotional regulation, confidence, and life skills.

· To identify barriers impacting education, wellbeing, or home life and develop person-centred action plans to address these collaboratively with families and professionals.

· To work collaboratively with the Young Carers Lead, Engagement Worker, and Assessment Lead to ensure joined-up support across all aspects of the service.

Key responsibilities

1. Family Support and Early Intervention

Provide one-to-one, family-based, and small-group interventions to young carers and their families in home, school, or community settings.
Identify and assess needs using a person-centred, trauma-informed approach that empowers both the young carer and their family.
Support families to access early help and statutory or voluntary services, advocating on their behalf where necessary.
Work with families to address issues such as school attendance, behavioural challenges, emotional wellbeing, or financial hardship.
Develop and maintain trusting relationships with families to help reduce crisis situations and promote resilience.

2. Advocacy and Multi-Agency Collaboration

Act as the primary link between families and key professionals, including schools, social workers, GPs, mental health services, and local authority early help teams.
Attend and contribute to multi-agency meetings, providing professional insight into the young carer’s experience and family needs.
Support professionals to better understand and identify young carers within their settings.
Advocate for young carers’ rights and inclusion in decision-making processes.

3. Financial and Practical Support

Assist families with accessing benefits, grants, and hardship funds to alleviate cost-of-living pressures.
Provide signposting and practical support around budgeting, food, transport, and essential needs.
Work with the Young Carers Lead to coordinate small hardship or wellbeing grants that directly support young carers and their families.

4. Education and Emotional Development

Support schools in implementing strategies that improve attendance, emotional wellbeing, and engagement for young carers.
Deliver targeted interventions that develop young carers’ self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and coping skills.
Support transitions across educational stages (primary to secondary, post-16, and into adulthood).

5. Partnership and Community Engagement

Build and sustain positive working relationships with professionals across education, health, and voluntary sectors.
Collaborate with community organisations to enhance family wellbeing and promote inclusion.
Represent Harrow Carers at local events, steering groups, and professional forums as required.
Contribute to raising awareness of young carers’ issues within the community through outreach and presentations.

6. Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting

Record all activity accurately on the Charity Log database and maintain up-to-date case notes.
Collect evidence of outcomes and impact in line with funder and internal monitoring requirements.
Support the Service Manager with data analysis, evaluation reports, and continuous improvement.
Reflect on and share learning from family work to strengthen service practice and design

7. General Duties

Participate in regular supervision, team meetings, and reflective practice sessions.
Undertake professional development and training to strengthen trauma-informed and family support skills.
Work flexibly, including occasional after-school or weekend hours, for which time off in lieu will be given.
Carry out duties in accordance with Harrow Carers’ safeguarding, confidentiality, equality, data protection, and health & safety policies
