We are seeking a Family Support Worker to join our team.

As a Family Support Worker, your role is to provide direct work with the foster family, working in partnership with the foster parents and within the professional team.  Your interventions will be purposeful, outcomes-focused and informed by the assessment of need. You will be able to understand, communicate and implement relevant aspects of our therapeutic approach.  You will ensure you are driven to ensure the community works to the highest standards.  You will need to be resilient, confident and creative to resolve challenges within the care system and enable foster families to also believe that they can overcome the many challenges children face.  

CFC provides flexibility to staff working arrangements; however, being available to work directly with children outside of school days is essential.  Work is typically Mon – Fri, but some weekend work will be required.
