Why This Role Matters
Our Family Support Teams play a vital role in helping children and families achieve lasting change.

These are roles that truly makes a difference-working directly with families to reduce risk, strengthen support networks, and ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive in a safe and nurturing environment.

As a Social Worker in our Family Support OR Child Protection and Court Work teams, you will:

- Work alongside families to reduce risk and develop sustainable safety within their own support networks.
- Support families through pre-proceedings and, where necessary, care proceedings.
