Role

Home-Start Edinburgh, Home Link Family Support, NHS Lothian’s Parent and Infant Relationship Service (PAIRS), Citizens Advice , Circle, Stepping Stones North Edinburgh, and City of Edinburgh Council’s Early Years Education are delighted to recruit staff for a new transformational partnership approach that will test bespoke holistic whole family supports throughout the early years. The project, ‘The Family Hub’, will ensure that appropriate, universal, and enhanced support is available at the earliest stage possible for all families with a child not yet in an ELC or school setting. This will be achieved by developing a cohesive pathway and menu of supports alongside families.

The project aims to:

  • Improve family wellbeing
  • Reduce inequalities in family wellbeing
  • Long-term reduction in families requiring crisis intervention
  • Long-term reduction in the number of children living away from their families
  • Increase the number of families taking up wider support.

Home-Start Edinburgh is a volunteer-led charity with over 35 years-experience working in local communities, supporting families with a child under 5 in the home. Whilst our Head Office is in Leith, the successful applicant will be required to support volunteers and families in one of Edinburgh’s four localities. We are recruiting a Whole Family Wellbeing Practitioner, to work within this project. The right person will be someone with a background working alongside families to improve family wellbeing and reduce inequality.

This role is a 2 year fixed term contract.
