Vulnerable children in the UK need your help

Wherever you work in the Action for Children family, you'll be helping to change the lives of the most vulnerable children in the UK.

Last year, we helped more than 687,000 children and families across the UK. From direct work in communities to national campaigning, we are focused on making sure every child has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive.

Why Action for Children?

Working here is more than a job. Everyone in the Action for Children family is passionate about protecting and supporting children. It's the sense of purpose that drives us every single day. Because we know that, when we work together, we can make a huge difference to bring lasting improvements to vulnerable children's lives.

A bit about the role

About the service

We have a number of roles available for Practitioners to support in Primary and Secondary schools in Glasgow as well as a Practitioner to support two school clusters in North Lanarkshire covering the Motherwell and Wishaw areas.

Practitioners work closely with schools to identify children, young people and families who would benefit from additional wellbeing / family support either within the school environment, local community or family home. Support can be on a 1:1 basis or in small groups and can vary on a daily basis depending on the needs of children and their families.

We work closely with schools to co-design the support, understand the priorities and needs within the school, home and local community and put in place the right interventions that will make a real difference. This is a vital part of our work.

  • Agreeing and implementing a plan of support for each child, young person/family. 
  • Provision of individual support to children/young people to help them engage better with school and other agencies to support improved educational engagement and attainment. 
  • Provision of family support to parents/carers around agreed priority areas e.g. boundaries, routines, support to make and attend appointments, practical support i.e. housing, finances etc.
  • Provision of accredited parenting programs within the family home (training can be provided).
  • Provision of school-based group work programs and 1:1 session focusing on emotional wellbeing, confidence & self-esteem, friendships, transition etc.
