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. While prior experience with children and families is essential, full training will be provided in trauma‑informed care using the PACE model (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy), which underpins our therapeutic approach.

Key responsibilities include:

• Delivering and observing structured interventions with families
• Maintaining accurate, objective records to inform formal parenting assessments submitted to Family Court
• Applying safeguarding procedures confidently and appropriately
• Supporting daily operations including handovers, diary coordination, and acting as a point of contact for queries

I am looking for individuals who are organised, emotionally intelligent, and capable of reflective practice. You will also be able to demonstrate resilience in challenging situations, be a driver with a full manual UK licence and have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
