Are you passionate about making a real difference to the lives of children, young people and families? We’re looking for dedicated and empathetic Family Support Workers to join our Early Help Service team in Lancashire.
As a Family Support Worker, you’ll provide personalised, whole-family, strength-based support to those facing a variety of challenges. You’ll work alongside key partner agencies using a “Team Around the Family” approach to assess needs, co-create action plans, and deliver direct interventions that help children achieve better outcomes.
You will hold a caseload of families in your designated area (e.g. Preston, Burnley, Chorley, etc.) and work across community and intensive support pathways—helping families referred via MASH, social care step-downs, and school-based referrals.
Key Responsibilities:
Undertake early help assessments and co-produce action plans with families.
Deliver evidence-based, direct work with children, young people, and their families.
Work closely with schools and partner agencies to support complex family needs.
Promote safeguarding and ensure children’s welfare remains the central focus.
Maintain accurate case recordings and contribute to service improvements.
What We’re Looking For:
A Level 3 qualification (or equivalent experience) in a relevant field.
Experience supporting children and families in a multi-agency setting.
Strong communication, empathy, critical thinking and organisational skills.
Ability to work independently and flexibly across the county.
A strong understanding of Early Help principles and child development.
This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a supportive, collaborative team that values continuous improvement and the voice of families at the heart of service delivery.
