About the Role As a Children and Family Worker, you will work directly with children, young people, and their families to empower them to make lasting positive changes. You will act as a Key Worker, holding a caseload and delivering integrated, intensive family support-including for families with complex needs or those facing significant challenges.

Key responsibilities include:

• Attending and leading multi-agency meetings, contributing to court reports where needed.
  
  
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records.
  
  

This is a flexible role, and you may be required to work evenings and weekends to meet the needs of the families you support.

About You We're looking for someone with:

• A recognised qualification at NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in childcare or related subject-or relevant experience in the criminal justice or family support field.
  
  
• Knowledge of child development, safeguarding, and family support interventions such as Triple P or Strengthening Families.
  
  
• Experience delivering family support and group work with hard-to-reach families.
  
  
• Excellent communication, assessment, and record-keeping skills.
  
  
• Confidence in working both independently and as part of a multi-agency team.
  
  

Why Join Us? At Coventry City Council, we are committed to delivering services that improve lives. As part of our team, you will benefit from:

• Ongoing training and development opportunities.
  
  
• A supportive team culture.
