Family Support Worker

Tyre Hill House is a specialist Family Assessment Centre in Worcestershire. We adopt a strength based therapeutic approach with the aim of empowering parents to safely care for their children in the long term. We believe with the right support everyone is capable of change and everyone deserves the opportunity to make those changes. Our aim is to provide robust, fair and evidenced based assessments with the child’s welfare and safety at the centre of all decision making.

Family Support Workers work a shift pattern which includes day and night shifts, each shift is 12.5 hrs. Family Support Workers will support and observe parent’s interactions with their children and provide feedback in a sensitive, non-judgmental manner. Whilst thinking about each parent’s individual needs you will encourage, role model and empower parents to meet their child’s physical and emotional needs.

You will be expected to record accurate and objective records which will be to inform the parenting assessment. The records you complete are legal documents which will be submitted as evidence to the Family Court. You will be trained to adopt a trauma informed PACE approach (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy) and apply these principles in your daily practice with families and colleagues.

We are looking to appoint passionate and committed Family Support Workers who can quickly engage and build positive relationships with parents. Some experience of working with children and families is essential.
