Family Focus Advice Worker
The Junction is recruiting for a Family Focus Advice Worker
Job Title: Family Focus Advice Worker
Salary: £27,586 pro rata per annum (with annual uplift subject to funding and satisfactory performance)
Contract Type: 2 years fixed term from start date (with the possibility of extension dependent on funding)
Application Method: The Junction Foundation application pack must be completed; we do not accept CVs.
The Junction is a respected charity working to make a difference in the lives of children, young people, and their families. We are proud of our reputation and believe that all of our workers are key to establishing positive relationships, building trust, self-belief, a sense of family, and belonging.
Our work in supporting local children, young people, and families who are experiencing poverty is growing, both in terms of need, as child poverty affects over 42% of children in Middlesbrough, impacting both childhood experiences and long-term outcomes. We firmly believe it does not need to be this way. Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, we have gained the resources needed to support families experiencing poverty in both their short-term needs and through person-centred support for long-term change.
The right candidate will have experience in advice work and the ability to engage with families in both one-on-one and group settings. They will also need to understand the wide range of challenges families experiencing poverty face, with a focus on creating meaningful change with families and, commensurate with The Junction’s values, offering compassionate and non-judgmental support through both one-on-one support and community-based activities.
