About the Role

The London Borough of Hackney is seeking a highly skilled and passionate Family Support Officer in the Early Help team to join our dedicated Multi-Agency Team (MAT).

* Targeted Support: Support parents/carers in their care of their children through targeted work delivered in the home, through group work, and coordinated services. This includes providing practical support to address underlying barriers, such as complex housing and financial matters, that impact effective parenting.

* Group Delivery: Coordinate and deliver structured parenting groups to support parents and carers in developing a deeper understanding of their child’s needs and strengthening their overall parenting skills and confidence.

* Collaboration: Work seamlessly with schools, health services, voluntary organisations, and other partners to ensure a holistic, joined-up approach to family support.

* Record Keeping: Maintain accurate, timely, and detailed records in line with statutory and organisational requirements.

What You Will Bring

* Proven experience in providing direct support and intervention to vulnerable children and families.

* A strong working knowledge of Early Help principles, assessment frameworks, and local safeguarding procedures.

* Excellent communication, negotiation, and report-writing skills.
