Overview


This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a pioneering project led by a partnership of third sector organisations and supported by the Highland Community Planning Partnership's Whole Family Wellbeing Programme.

One worker will be employed by each of the three delivery partners - the Care and Learning Alliance, Homestart East Highland and Thriving Families - and selection by each delivery partner will be based on specific skills and experience required for key aspects of project delivery under the leadership of each partner.

Role description

Purpose of role


Whole family support workers will be a bridge between home and school, supporting families to overcome challenges to both wellbeing and learning and enabling children and young people to flourish in school and beyond.


It is recognised that there is a range of potentially beneficial outcomes for children and young people from building closer partnerships between schools and families and supporting all family members to address both practical and emotional issues.


These whole family support workers will work alongside families in the Inverness High School catchment area which have been identified by the schools (both primary and secondary) as being most in need.

Support provided to families will be flexible and responsive to the needs of families and individual family members. It will be available to families for as long as they need it.

Main responsibilities

  • Work in partnership with children, young people, schools, parents, carers, the Inverness Family Centre, local statutory providers and community organisations to deliver tailored support to families who are experiencing challenges.
  • Liaise with contacts within schools to develop effective referral pathways for families needing this support.
  • Meet and support both young and adult family members individually or collectively and in their own home or in a safe space outside the home as appropriate to individual circumstances and need to identify practical and emotional issues which have an impact on wellbeing and actions to address these.
  • Where appropriate and within the remit and skillset of this role[1], work directly alongside family members, as relevant, to action issues identified. Otherwise, direct and signpost family members to appropriate sources of support within the community and beyond.
  • Meet regularly as a team to reflect on experiences, share learning and good practice and further develop the role and remit.
  • Regularly feed back activities and progress to key contacts in the school community.
  • Contribute to the development of an improvement plan for the IHS ASG whole family support service and monitor progress against key indicators within the plan.
  • Work alongside partners from the schools, statutory services and community groups to improve the universal wellbeing support for all children, young people and adult family members available through forums (including schools) already in existence in the area.
  • Contribute to regular progress reports for the steering group.
  • Where appropriate and identified as a need by families, facilitate group and peer support opportunities for families.
  • Run group activities during school holidays in line with the needs and wishes of families.
  • Regularly gather, communicate, act and feed back on the views and voices of young and adult family members both on the service provided and on wider issues affecting them.
