Are you a trained Family Group Conference Coordinator?

Do you want to use your skills to support families, ensuring every member has a voice in decision-making?

Are you looking for a flexible role where your commitment is valued, and you can see the impact you create?

At Daybreak, a registered charity, we are looking for Independent Coordinators to join our team.

We work with a team of self-employed Coordinators across the South of England and are actively seeking trained and experienced Coordinators to help us expand the use of Family Group Conferences (FGCs) and other forms of Family Group Decision Making (FGDM). Our goal is to empower more families to respond to their challenges and create safer, stronger futures.

We welcome compassionate and committed Coordinators who can support families in demonstrating how they can keep each other safe. While FGCs are primarily used in children’s social services, we are working to extend their reach into a broader range of settings or situations. Now is a great time to bring your skills and experience to our growing team.

As a Coordinator, you will work alongside families facing a wide range of challenges, including mental health, substance abuse, domestic violence, criminal justice and other Adverse Childhood Experience risk factors.

Whatever your background, if you have the skills and training to support families in finding a way forward, we’d love to hear from you.

Our services currently operate in Portsmouth, Reading, Bromley, Hackney, and Wiltshire, so we are prioritising applications in these areas. However, we also welcome interest from Coordinators across the South of England to help us reach more families and communities.

We have families in need of your support; please contact us today.
