We're looking for a passionate and dedicated Family Support Worker to join our Youth Justice Service.
About You
In this rewarding role, you'll work directly with children, young people and their families to help reduce offending, build resilience and create positive futures. You will work in a trauma informed way with all young people so experience of this will be a clear advantage.
You will provide practical and emotional support, strengthen family relationships, coordinate interventions, and work closely with partner agencies to ensure young people receive the right help at the right time.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The majority of your role will be working with colleagues and partner organisations to avoid young people being remanded into custody. Working some Saturdays will be a requirement of the role.
Why Join Us?
At Derbyshire, we are committed to helping our workforce grow and succeed. You'll join a supportive, experienced and passionate team dedicated to making a genuine difference in the lives of children and families.
