Family Worker

We currently have a 30-hour vacancy for a Family Worker in the March, Chatteris & Whittlesey Targeted Support Team. This is a 2-year fixed term secondment position to end June 2025. The role will be based at Hereward Hall March.

The purpose of the role is to provide targeted individual and group interventions with parents, carers, children and young people up to and including the thresholds for Children’s Social Care involvement, enabling the needs of children, young people and families to be met where community-based support is insufficient.

Our Family Workers work within a systemic/think family approach, in partnership with families, to strengthen the capacity of families to manage difficulties, meet needs and manage risk, enabling families to effectively utilise available support within their family and community networks.

Where families have vulnerabilities but have limited capacity to change, Family Workers have a role in supporting the management of risks and meeting of need.

Please see the Job Description and Person Specification for further details including the essential qualifications, knowledge, skills and experience required.

Please note the salary advertised is on a pro rata basis for the 30 hour post.

Interviews will take place on 17th May 2023 and held at Whittlesey Youth & Community Centre, 15 Scaldgate, Whittlesey, Peterborough PE7 1SD.

For informal enquiries, please contact Zoe Stockhill on 07584 771974 or Caroline Benincasa on 07775 404595.
