About the Role
We're looking for a compassionate and detail-oriented Family Assessment Practitioner Worker to join our team at The Groves Family Assessment Centre. This is a Grade 1 position, ideal for someone with some relevant experience who is working towards Level 3 qualifications, or who is newly qualified and ready to build a career in family support and social care.
In this role, you'll work directly with families in placement, supporting weekly assessment plans, modelling positive parenting practices, and helping our team build a clear, accurate picture of each family's needs and progress. Success in this role looks like consistently high-quality observations and recordings, families who feel supported and guided rather than judged, and a Centre that runs smoothly day to day because of your reliability and care.
You'll report into the Centre Managers and work closely with the wider multidisciplinary team, playing a key part in helping vulnerable families move forward safely.
RESPONSSIBILITIES
Assessment Support
- Maintain accurate, detailed daily recordings to support each family's weekly assessment plan
- Observe and document child-parent interactions to help evaluate parental ability and family dynamics
