Project Worker 2 (20219)

Barnardo's Stronger Families offers an exciting opportunity to join an established team who are developing Attachment and Trauma Informed Practice models to support families with children aged 0-13 yrs across Fife. Barnardo's has been established in Fife for over 20 years and the Stronger Families service and support to children and families has been a consistent feature within our services across Fife.

Stronger Families offers intensive support to families (6-10hrs per week), and for 6-9mths working alongside partner agencies to prevent family breakdown. This level of support will hopefully help families to make effective and sustainable change to enable the children to safely remain at home.

Due to the intensive nature of this work your caseload will be around 4 families which will enable you to build good relationships with the children, young people & families and through your support will help them effect meaningful change.

You will have experience of working with children & families and will be required to deliver direct services to families who have a range of complex needs.

Experience of working with children and families and a working knowledge of attachment theories and Trauma Informed Practice would be extremely desirable as would a knowledge of The Promise as the principles are embedded into our service delivery.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an established, dynamic and friendly team where you will have the opportunity to expand and share your skills and experience within a supportive environment. The service sits within a locality with 4 other services further enhancing the learning opportunities and skill sharing with those supporting Children, Young People and families in different ways.
