About the Role

We are seeking a Family Support Specialist to join our team at Depaul, a leading provider of support and housing services for young people and adults at risk of homelessness. The successful candidate will work closely with the Deputy Prevention Services Manager and the housing team at Adur and Worthing Council to set up and run our new Reconnect service.

As a Family Support Specialist, you will work directly with young people aged 11-25 and their families who are experiencing family difficulties and at risk of homelessness. You will provide guidance, personalised family support, and one-to-one and joint party mediation if appropriate. You will also carry a caseload of 15-20 clients per FTE for whom you will be the named keyworker.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build strong working relationships with all Depaul colleagues and services across the region, as well as other relevant agencies and local authority teams.

About You

We are looking for a skilled and experienced Family Support Specialist who can work independently and manage their own caseload. You will need to have significant experience working with young people and families in crisis, as well as a Level 4 Interpersonal Mediation Practitioner's Certificate (IMPC). Training will be provided if the candidate doesn't have the qualification, but training will have to be completed before the end of the probation period.
