Are you passionate about supporting families and building stronger communities? Do you thrive in a role where every day is different, and where your work has a direct impact on the lives of children and their families? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

 

Community Family Workers play a vital role in delivering both universal and targeted support to families with children aged 0–11. Working in centres across Gloucester, you’ll lead group sessions with families and their children, provide one-to-one support in the role of family support, and help bridge the gap between universal services and more intensive interventions or support. You’ll be part of a dynamic team that works collaboratively with families, professionals, and community partners to create inclusive, resilient and connected neighbourhoods.

 

You’ll be led by a Community Manager and work closely with colleagues across the Family Hub. Your work will include parenting support, planning and delivering both targeted and universal groups, safeguarding, and contributing to multi-agency plans that improve outcomes for children.

 

This is an exciting and varied opportunity welcoming families into our children’s centres and connecting them to the community around them. It is your chance to make a difference as part of a strong supportive team.

 

•             Experience working with children and families, including group planning and facilitation.

•             Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a child-centred approach.

•             Knowledge of parenting support, child development, and safeguarding.

•             Ability to work flexibly and independently across multiple locations.

•             Confident using IT systems including Microsoft Office and case management tools.

 

This is a face-to-face role that involves travel across the area, so access to transport and business insurance is essential. An enhanced DBS check will be required.
