The challenging and varied role of a family support worker is ideal for anyone hoping to make a positive impact on the lives of children, young people and families
As a family support worker, you’ll offer practical help and emotional support to families experiencing short or long-term difficulties. You’ll typically be employed by local authorities’ social services departments or charitable organisations.
The focus of your role is to provide hands-on support to service users, empowering them to address various challenges, reducing problems and risks and, in some cases, helping to make sure that children can remain with their family.
You might help parents and children with a range of social and personal issues or specialise in a particular area such as domestic abuse, bereavement or homelessness.
Job titles vary and you may also be known as a:
* family intervention officer
* family outreach officer
