Family Support Worker
Your new company
Hays are working in partnership with a well-established national charity that provides vital support services to children, young people and families across Birmingham. Due to increased demand, an opportunity has arisen for an experienced Early Help Support Worker to join a community-focused service delivering early intervention and practical support to families across a Birmingham district. This organisation is committed to helping families access the right support at the right time and works closely with local authorities, voluntary sector partners and community organisations to achieve positive outcomes.
Your new role
As an Early Help Support Worker, you will manage a caseload of families requiring early intervention support and work collaboratively with local agencies and community groups to coordinate tailored support packages. You will complete Early Help Assessments, undertake home visits, provide practical and emotional support, and signpost families to appropriate services. The role requires strong partnership working with children's services, schools, health professionals and voluntary sector organisations to ensure families receive timely and effective support. You will maintain accurate case records, contribute to service evaluations, and produce case studies evidencing the positive impact of interventions.
