Glasgow, United Kingdom NSPCC Full time

Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief; it drives us and is the reason our Children's Services team push themselves to transform the lives of children and families.

Our NSPCC Strategy 2021+ sets out how we'll work together with everyone - from schools to local authorities and corporate partners - to reach more children and prevent child abuse and neglect. As we embark on our strategy, we're working on an integrated service offer which meets the needs of children and young people, families and professionals across the UK.

This is an exciting opportunity to use your own knowledge and personal experience of involvement with social workers and / or services to influence and achieve change to make a positive difference for others and improve outcomes for children.

NSPCC are developing a new service to improve the mental health of Infants and young children. Collaborating with the University of Glasgow and funded by What Works in Children's Social Care, the project will trial a new service called Infant, Parent Support (IPS). This neuro-diverse and poverty informed service will test whether outcomes for families with infants under 5 who have a social worker can be improved by offering a relationship-based intervention at an earlier stage.

We are looking to appoint a Family Engagement Worker with lived experience of care and support from services such as social work, either as a parent or as a child themselves to work closely with families. We will support you to draw upon your own experience to promote best practice and help families access Infant, Parent Support. This role would be suitable for a person with good communication skills, and who is keen to be solution focused and provide the highest quality experience for families.

The Family Engagement Workers will be embedded within the multi-disciplinary (social workers, mental health professionals and other support workers) teams based in either Bromley or Glasgow. As an integral and highly valued member of the team, the Family Engagement Worker, informed by their own experiences of working with services will provide support and practical assistance to families, helping them to focus on achievable goals using a strengths-based approach. In particular, the Family Engagement Worker will enhance the relationships between professionals and families through working with parents and caregivers, to promote choice and opportunities to enable families to feel connected and valued in their assessment and support plan.

Visits to the team, are also welcome and encouraged upon prior arrangement

Join us and you will become part of a team who care about the work we do and the people we work with. You will discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that will bring the best out in you. This is an exciting opportunity to find your own way, make a difference that means more, and impacts young lives.
