Barnardo's Stronger Families offers an exciting opportunity to join an established team that are developing attachment and trauma-informed practice models to support families with children aged 0-13 years old 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 their services across Fife.
Stronger Families offers intensive support to families (6-10 hours per week), and for 6-9 months, working alongside partner agencies to prevent family breakdown. This level of support aims to 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 four families which will enable you to build good relationships with the children, young people, and families. Through your support you will help them effect meaningful change.
You will have experience of working with children and 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 Barnardo's 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 four other services further enhancing the learning opportunities and skill sharing with those supporting children, young people, and families in different ways.
