Make a real difference to children and families across Solihull.
We are looking for a motivated and organised Community Resilience Coordinator to join our Family Hubs and lead the planning, delivery and quality assurance of the Family Hub Crisis and Resilience fund offer across Solihull’s Early Help partnership.
The role will ensure that a consistent, accessible, community based offer is available for families with children aged 0–19. They will work closely with partners across statutory, community and voluntary sectors, and will support the development of a programme of early intervention to prevent families reaching crisis point.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape how partners across Solihull support parents and carers, ensuring that every family has access to the right help at the right time.
About The Role
As our Community Resilience Coordinator, you will support families to access support to increase their resilience, build skills and offer practical support before they reach crisis point.
The aim of the Crisis Resilience Fund is to:
- Provide early intervention before families reach crisis point
- Offer practical, emotional, and skills-based support
- Build financial confidence and independence
- Strengthen family wellbeing and reduce social isolation
- Ensure continuity of trusted relationships within the community
The role will coordinate the end-to-end delivery of a range of programmes aimed at budgeting and financial stability, food and household support and health and wellbeing. The role will be key in developing strong working relationships with key partners including employment and skills team, schools, Family Hubs, health visitors, midwives, voluntary/community organisations and social care teams.
