Role

Would you like to join a vibrant, exciting team working alongside families and volunteers in North Lanarkshire?

An exciting opportunity has arisen within North Lanarkshire to be part of a new early intervention family support service – Families Here and Now. This project is funded by North Lanarkshire Council and will provide holistic support for the whole family in local communities/hub areas.

You will play a key role in developing this service alongside families and community partners. The service is a collaboration between four charities: Barnardo’s, Home-Start Glasgow North and North Lanarkshire (HSGNNL), Action for Children and Impact Arts, and you will work closely with colleagues from these organisations.

This outreach support role covers the North Lanarkshire area, based in or around community hubs/schools/nurseries and family homes. The aim of the service is to enable families (pregnant and/or with children up to age 18 years/26 years for care experienced children) to access supports at the earliest possible time, ensuring a ‘whole family’ and ‘no wrong door’ approach.

The service will operate 7 days a week between the hours of 8 am – 8 pm, 365 days per year.

The postholder will be required to work at least one evening every fortnight and at least one weekend every 8 weeks.

The role is initially funded until April 2027.

Do you have what we are looking for?

  • Creative personality and passionate about working with children and families
  • Experience of supporting pregnant families and families with children of all ages
  • Good IT skills (Microsoft)
  • Team player but ability to self-motivate and inspire others
  • A car driver with access to a car
