Join a values-driven organisation dedicated to supporting families through compassionate, evidence-based practice. Their mission is to help families stay together when it serves the best interests of the child.
I am seeking a resolute and empathetic Senior Family Support Worker to join a stunning residential assessment service in beautiful Worcester. This role involves working a structured four-week shift pattern, with each shift lasting 12.5 hours.
Successful candidates will demonstrate the ability to build trusting relationships with parents and children and bring a strong commitment to supporting families through challenging circumstances.

1. Delivering and observing structured interventions with families
2. Maintaining accurate, objective records to inform formal parenting assessments submitted to Family Court
