When parents feel overwhelmed, the right support can change everything. At Home-Start Warrington & Cheshire, we work alongside families facing isolation, financial pressure, mental health challenges and parenting stress. As our Outreach Worker, you’ll help parents recognise their strengths, rebuild confidence and connect into the right support, so they can move forward independently. This isn’t about “fixing” families. It’s about walking beside them. What you’ll do You’ll work directly with families to understand what support is right for them, which may include: Emotional support to help parents manage challenges Encouraging positive routines, play and family connection Practical guidance around budgeting, nutrition and home safety Supporting parents to access health, education and community services Encouraging attendance at groups to reduce isolation and build confidence You’ll work closely with Health Visitors, nurseries, schools and other professionals to ensure families receive joined-up support. You’ll liaise with referrers, advocate when needed, and help families feel confident engaging with services. You’ll manage your own caseload while receiving structured supervision and support from your Line Manager.
