Summary

Family Support Worker - Part-Time | Birmingham (Moseley)
£26,155 - £28,442 FTE (£16,727 - £18,146 Pro Rata)
22.5 hours per week | Mon-Wed 9am-5pm (can be flexible)

Are you passionate about supporting families and helping children get the best start in life?
We're working with a lovely community-based early years service in Moseley that's looking for a Family Support Worker to join their warm, supportive team. The service is part of a wider initiative focused on early years health, wellbeing, and education for children aged 0-5 and their families. What you'll be doing:
You'll be delivering a mix of one-to-one and group support to families with young children-both in their homes and at community hubs. This includes:
  • Providing early help interventions and practical parenting support
  • Running drop-in sessions and group activities (like stay and play, parenting courses, etc.)
  • Offering advice on things like early education, nutrition, child development and emotional wellbeing
  • Supporting antenatal and postnatal pathways, including perinatal mental health and infant feeding
  • Working closely with local services to ensure families get the right support when they need it

This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same. What we're looking for:
We're after someone who's worked in a similar role before, supporting families with children under 5, ideally in community, children's centre or health-based settings. You'll be confident doing home visits, holding a caseload, facilitating parenting groups, and working collaboratively with professionals from other agencies.

You'll need:
  • NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care, Working with Parents or equivalent
  • Strong knowledge of safeguarding, early help, and child development
  • A kind, non-judgemental approach and the ability to engage even the hardest-to-reach families
The practical bits:
  • 22.5 hours per week (typically Mon-Wed 9am-5pm, but there's flexibility)
  • £26,155 - £28,442 FTE depending on experience (£16,727 - £18,146 pro rata)
  • You'll be based in the Hall Green district of Birmingham, working across local centres and home visits.
