Career Profile - Family Support Worker
Career Profile
The challenging and varied role of a family support worker is ideal for anyone hoping to make a positive impact on the lives of children, young people and families
As a family support worker, you’ll offer practical help and emotional support to families experiencing short or long-term difficulties. You’ll typically be employed by local authorities’ social services departments, charitable organisations or health and social care agencies.
The focus of your role is to empower service users to address various challenges and reduce problems and risks in their lives. You’ll do this by providing hands-on support, and in some cases, you’ll help make it possible for children to remain with their family.
You might help parents and children with a range of social and personal issues or specialise in a particular area such as domestic abuse, bereavement or homelessness.
Job titles vary and you may also be known as a:
* early help practitioner
* family intervention officer
* family outreach officer
* family welfare assistant
* key worker
* parenting support worker
* project worker.
Responsibilities
Families are usually referred to you by a social worker, and you may work together to assess and support the service users. Your role will vary depending on the needs of the family you’re helping, but you may also have a specialist area, depending on your employer’s focus.
The challenges faced by your service users could relate to:
* anti-social behaviour and criminal activity, such as a parent in prison
* behaviour and social interaction
* bereavement and caring responsibilities
* bullying
* disability
* domestic violence and abuse
* drug and alcohol addiction
* education and learning
* finance and debt
* housing and homelessness
* language barriers
* learning difficulties
* marital discord, separation and divorce, including care orders
* mental or physical health issues
* parenting skills
* physical and mental health issues, disabilities and learning difficulties.
As a family support worker, you’ll typically need to:
* complete an initial assessment of families’ needs so that you can identify and plan the * support needed to address issues and prevent any problems from escalating
* undertake regular caseload review meetings with individuals and families during home and community visits to ensure they’re fully supported to progress and achieve desired outcomes
* work with social workers, colleagues, other support service professionals and multi-agency networks to evaluate caseload needs and the progress that has been made
* manage your own workload, administration and diary commitments
* assess parenting skills and help people to build physical and emotional caring abilities through a range of practical activities
* help children with learning and development
* enhance parents’ understanding of different education and play strategies
* provide practical home management support, such as how to bathe a child properly, how to potty train or how to manage behaviour
* provide budgeting advice to parents so they can manage their household spending
* coach, mentor and motivate families to understand the benefits of relevant activities
* maintain accurate and up-to-date administration and caseload records, including reports of all interactions
* stay with a family during a crisis situation, such as a parent being in hospital
* attend court sessions when relevant, for example in cases of child protection
* adhere to professional practice standards and legislation, including confidentiality, safeguarding, equality, diversity and inclusion policies
* ensure you’re up-to-date on your knowledge of local service provision for appropriate signposting and referrals.
Salary
* Starting salaries for family support workers are typically between £22,000 and £28,000.
* With experience or a particular specialism, you can earn up to £35,000, especially if you’re in a supervisory role.
* Salaries for family support workers working as family centre, project and charity managers can be up to £50,000.
Casual, sessional or relief family support workers are typically paid between £13 and £17 per hour.
Working Hours
Full-time family support workers usually work 37 hours per week. There are also part time, casual and job share options available.
You may have to work early mornings, evenings and weekends to accommodate the family’s needs and commitments, such as work and school hours.
What to expect
* Your work will usually be split between the office, attending meetings, organising workload, typing reports and updating caseload activities, and the family’s home. You may also attend court.
* You’ll work in a multidisciplinary team or partnership of support agencies, in a variety of settings including local authority offices, families’ homes, schools, nurseries, youth centres, probation offices, homeless refuges, local courts, and the premises of voluntary and charitable organisations.
* The role can be emotionally draining as you could be dealing with sensitive and traumatic issues, including bereavement and neglect. It can also be challenging and involve confrontation, particularly if a family does not welcome your involvement. In some cases, the family may not be ready to engage with you, and therefore not all interactions will have a positive outcome. However, enabling families to overcome wide-ranging challenges and difficult situations means that your role can be extremely varied and highly rewarding.
* Ongoing local authority budget cuts and staffing restructures affecting social care services mean that there may be some uncertainty relating to job security within the public sector. Within the third sector, role security and contract term may depend upon the organisation’s funding and charitable grants.
* You’ll usually need a driving licence and your own vehicle to visit different locations within your day-to-day role.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* excellent communication and listening skills
* the ability to build and maintain rapport with adults, young people and children
* calmness under pressure and when dealing with challenging or confrontational behaviour
* flexibility and adaptability
* a good understanding of the challenges faced by the families you help
* organisation and problem-solving skills
* resilience and the ability to cope with emotionally-draining and traumatic situations
* commitment to making a positive difference to the lives of service users
* a positive, non-judgemental, empathetic and sensitive approach
* effective teamwork skills, as you’ll often be acting within a multidisciplinary service or multi-agency network
* competent IT skills for recording and maintaining accurate data
* the ability to maintain expert knowledge of local services and provision.
You may also need relevant language skills depending on the service users and communities you support.
Career prospects
With experience and relevant qualifications, you may want to specialise in a particular area of family support work, such as homelessness, domestic abuse or supporting people with learning difficulties.
For many family support workers, progression involves moving into supervisory and managerial posts. This typically involves leading a team of staff or running a refuge, project or family centre. Your role will include the planning, delivery and evaluation of family services.
As well as progressing into leadership, strategic, and policy development roles, it’s also possible to move into research by taking a PhD in family studies.
Family support workers may choose to progress to become social workers. You can find out more about social work careers via the British Association of Social Workers (BASW).

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
