About Thrive Early:
Citizens Advice Scotland, Home-Start UK, and Save the Children UK are working in partnership to deliver Thrive Early, a programme aligned with the Scottish Government's Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan.
The aim of Thrive Early is to prevent and mitigate the impacts of poverty for families with children under five years of age by providing integrated, whole family support within local communities.
The project addresses the root causes and effects of poverty by improving families' financial wellbeing, emotional resilience, social connections, and access to services. Families receive practical and emotional support from Home-Start, alongside expert financial, welfare, and holistic advice from Citizens Advice. Support is tailored to individual family needs and provided for as long as required.
A key feature of Thrive Early is its commitment to embedding the voices and experiences of families into both service development and wider systems change. This work is led by Save the Children UK, ensuring that lived experience drives continuous improvement and informs national policy and practice.
Job purpose:
The Thrive Early Family Adviser role combines elements of a Generalist Adviser and Caseworker, delivering seamless, holistic support to families in close partnership with Home-Start colleagues and other project partners. The role focuses on building trusted relationships with families who may be experiencing significant barriers to engaging with advice services. Many families supported through Thrive Early may not feel ready or able to access traditional advice channels. As a result, establishing trust, confidence, and sustained engagement is a critical part of the role. Family Advisers work with families over the medium to long term, providing tailored advice, advocacy, and practical support to help them move towards greater financial security and wellbeing. The postholder will also work collaboratively with Save the Children UK to support family participation activities and ensure that lived experience informs service improvement and project learning.
