Family Support Worker

At Great Heath Academy, we want everyone – pupils, parents and staff – to feel proud of the academy and enjoy the ability to make it even better. We care about our children as individuals and do everything we can to help them fulfil their potential and develop the independence and confidence they will need to succeed in life. 

Our Family Support Worker will work directly with children in need and their families in the community in order to promote, strengthen and to develop the potential of parents/carers and children. They will be an integral part of the safeguarding team and support our pupils with Send and their families. 

Our Family Support Worker will liaise closely with our community to become a champion for early help for families to access the support required to aid their child’s development, health & wellbeing. 

Do you have: 

• Evidence of good interpersonal, organisational and communication skills? 

• Strong literacy and numeracy skills?  

• Experience of working with children and families – preferably in a school      environment? 

• An understanding of the skills required to support young children's learning? 

• The desire to make a difference to the lives of our pupils and families, especially those with Special   Educational Needs? 

Then the children, staff, parents and governors of Great Heath Academy would very much like you to join their skilled and friendly team as a Family Support Worker. 

As part of Academy Transformation Trust, we work inclusively within our communities, embracing the varied localities we serve, while sharing our common vision and values. We share a passion about Diversity and Inclusion and welcome all applications and are open to flexible working.
