Exciting opportunities available across beautiful Somerset – join our team in one of several rewarding roles!

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 Time Support Worker plays a vital role in ensuring that children can maintain safe, positive and meaningful relationships with their parents, relatives and significant people when supervised contact is required. The role exists to safeguard children during family time sessions while creating a structured, nurturing environment that supports strong and healthy family connections.

Through direct work with children and families, the role makes a significant difference by improving the quality of family interactions, promoting positive parenting, and supporting better outcomes for children. By offering guidance, modelling positive behaviours and contributing to assessments, the post holder helps inform care planning and supports decisions around reunification, reconnection and long-term stability.

Working closely with social workers, carers and multi-agency partners, the Family Time Support Worker contributes to Somerset Council’s wider ambition to strengthen early help, improve collaborative working and ensure children grow up safely within their families and communities wherever possible.
