The Family Support team helps families dealing with challenging situations, you will provide effective case oversight and safeguarding support to ensure that families are receiving the right support at the right time. For this reason, you will need a good understanding of safeguarding.

You will have the people skills to communicate effectively with a wide range of people, from the families we work with to the partners that play a vital part in the support network around them. We work closely with other teams within early support, schools, social care and health care providers.
