Family Network Facilitator

Hartlepool, United Kingdom Changing Futures North East Full time

Passionate to help families to create their own plans to overcome the challenges they face?

Excited to enable positive changes for children?

Ready for a fresh challenge?

**We’d love to welcome you to Changing Futures, a small close-knit Charity where you will make a huge difference.**

Changing Futures operates excellent relationship-focused support services for families. A key focus as we continue to develop these services is on enabling family led planning and decision making, meaning families are empowered to create their own solutions to overcome challenges.

You will help us by working in partnership with Hartlepool Borough Council Family Support Workers and Social Workers and bring together the adults around children who can enable them to overcome and thrive when they face challenges. This will include parents and other family members, and where appropriate, safe, supportive adults from the families’ network of friends and community. You will facilitate these family network meetings helping families to develop relevant, appropriate and effective plans which they own.

As someone with experience of working with families, you will be skilled in working in a strengths based and relationship focused approach to identify and build rapport with the family network helping them to recognise their importance and role in children’s wellbeing. With an understanding of family relationships and dynamics, you will support the family to meet and create plans for change, to support children and young people to thrive.

This is an ambitious post that will contribute directly to implementing and embedding family led decision making practice in Hartlepool’s Early Help and Children’s Social Care Services.

**Why we do what we do**

We believe that all individuals and families should be given the opportunity to identify their own solutions to the challenges they face.

Whilst it may not be simple and easy for everyone to identify these solutions, as challenges can feel so large, we believe people are experts in their own lives, and with the right supportive and helpful approaches, they can discover and draw on their own strengths to make their own sustainable plans for change.

**Core aspects of the role**
- Working under the direction and supervision of the partner agency leader and to work alongside and support Family Support Workers and Social Workers in identifying and establishing family networks.
- Engage family, and other network members in Family Network meetings to develop family led plans.
- Ensure that children’s views are understood and appreciated by family members when developing these plans.
- Maintain links to the Charity and it’s range of services and support and signpost families to them where appropriate.

**Role duration**

We’re investing in this role with an initial allocation of funding to 31st March 2026.

**Working arrangements**

We give and need flexibility. This means you’ll need to do some evening work, and perhaps weekend work.

We are very flexible when people need to adapt their working days to fit family and life commitments. We also offer a good holiday package, raging from 27 to 30 days pro rata depending on length of service.

The vast majority of your time would be spent working in Hartlepool, but we are open to some bits of work being done at home if the role allows that. As this is a new role and programme for Changing Futures, we are feeling our way through with our partners as to what’s possible and in the best interests for the project.
