Family Support Worker Roles
The organisation provides specialist residential support to vulnerable families referred by local authorities across Birmingham, Worcester, Hereford, and Somerset. The service operates from a beautiful property with 8 self-contained apartments, offering a safe, nurturing environment where families can build stability, confidence, and essential parenting skills.
Most families referred are new parents, though the setting also accommodates families with older children who require structured support. Each placement lasts 16 weeks, during which families receive tailored guidance to help them develop the skills needed for independent living and safe parenting.
The families supported may be experiencing a range of challenges, including:
Early-stage parenting support needs
Relationship or communication difficulties
Substance misuse issues
Mental health concerns
