37 hours per week

Fixed Term up to 31 March 2028

Edge of Care Services are committed to developing innovative, evidence-based services that work effectively with families experiencing multiple and complex challenges, often linked to social exclusion and high dependency on public services.

Within this exciting and evolving landscape, an opportunity has arisen to join our co-located, multi-agency child and family services as a Family Support Worker within the Exploitation and Adolescence element of Edge of Care Service. We are seeking a motivated and skilled practitioner with a 'can do' approach, who is passionate about improving outcomes for families and committed to the delivery and development of evidence-based interventions.

This is a key role within the Exploitation and Adolescence element of Edge of Care, delivering responsive, trauma-informed, and strength-based interventions to adolescents (aged 10+) who are at risk of exploitation, family breakdown, or becoming care experienced.

We are looking for a highly skilled worker with experience of working with families on the edge of care or within intensive family intervention services. You will provide intensive, time-limited support to stabilise crisis situations and build protective factors within families and care placements.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an ambitious, innovative service that values creativity and doing things differently. You will work alongside skilled, passionate colleagues in a collaborative, multi-agency environment, and take the opportunity to develop your leadership, coaching, and strategic skills while remaining closely connected to direct practice.

If you are attracted by this opportunity to help shape the future of Edge of Care Services and make a real difference to children and families, we would love to hear from you.
