The Role:

The supervised family time service is a crucial part of the Children's Social Work Service in Worcestershire.
This service enables the local authority to fulfil its duties and responsibilities to promote contact for children with their birth family and friends. For some children the provision of a supervising facilitator is essential to ensure that time with family and friends is a safe and positive experience.

We want to build capacity and flexibility to the current good practice of our supervising family time service which will enable us to extend support to children who require this service. We also want to bring more flexibility in our service in order to meet the needs of children and young people, their carer's and their families.

Who are we looking for?

First and foremost we are looking for people who are enthusiastic and committed to supporting children to have positive experiences with family and friends. You should have good communication skills and have the ability to quickly build relationships. Some experience in working with children and young people and their families is important.

We are looking for someone to work flexibly Monday to Friday and one in four Saturdays. Operating hours are 8am-8pm Monday-Friday and Saturdays 9am-5pm. This is a County wide service and on occasion requires travel outside of County.
