Family Support Worker

Are you someone who doesn't wait for things to happen - you make them happen?

Do you believe that supporting families means getting alongside them, understanding their

challenges and taking practical action to make a difference?

Are you proactive, resourceful, approachable and passionate about helping children and families

thrive?

If so, we would love to hear from you!

At Colham Manor Primary School, we know that children achieve their best when their families are

supported. We are looking for an exceptional Family Support Worker who is passionate about

making a tangible difference to the lives of our children and families.

This is not a desk-based role. We are looking for someone who will get out into our community,

build relationships, knock on doors, make connections, find solutions and go the extra mile to ensure

families receive the support they need.

We want someone who:

- Is exceptionally proactive and uses their own initiative.

- Doesn't need to be constantly directed or told what to do.

- Is a natural relationship-builder who can engage positively with families from a wide range of

backgrounds.

- Is resilient, resourceful and determined, particularly when families are experiencing complex

challenges.

- Is confident having difficult conversations and able to challenge parents appropriately and

professionally.

- Thinks creatively about how to overcome barriers and find solutions.

- Understands that meaningful family support takes time, persistence, compassion and follow-

through.

- Is organized and able to manage their own workload effectively.

- Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

- Is passionate about improving outcomes for children and reducing barriers to learning.
