We are seeking several suitably experienced child and family workers for local authority contracts across Durham and surrounding areas.

The family support worker works directly with young people and their families, under the guidance of a social worker, to support their parenting and family skills and to ensure that families stay together.

Duties:

1. Direct work with children and their families
2. Supervised contact sessions

You should have knowledge of the challenges that modern families face, including mental health and substance misuse support needs and financial pressures, and know how to support them through those challenges.

Ideally, you will have some experience or knowledge of the looked after children system and a Level 3 qualification in children and young people or a related topic would be an advantage.
