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.
