Are you passionate about making a difference to children's lives who are placed in local authority foster care? As a Family Time Worker, you will play a critical role in supporting children in understanding their birth identity and supervising their time with birth parents.
We’re looking for people to join us with the skills to encourage and help maintain positive relationships between children and parents. We work with very vulnerable children so we must ensure we maintain professional relationships whilst managing complex family needs and behaviours.
The Family Time Workers play a vital role in supporting families for them to spend quality time together. Our aim during family time is to promote a positive and meaningful time for children with their family. This could include assessment, life story work, support and guidance.
If this sounds like you then Sefton would like to meet you!
Closing date: 12th August 2024
