We are currently seeking compassionate and reliable Family Support Workers to provide 24/7 supervision and support for a mother and her newborn in the Wirral. This is a highly rewarding opportunity to play a vital role in safeguarding, guidance, and day-to-day support during a vulnerable and important period for a young family.
We can offer up to full-time hours on an ad hoc basis, with the assignment expected to last 12 weeks or potentially longer.

  • Monitor interactions and ensure the ongoing safety and welfare of the child
  • Maintain accurate, detailed records and observations
  • Communicate promptly with the wider team regarding any concerns
  • Offer emotional support and encouragement in a calm, non-judgmental manner
What We’re Looking For

  • Have experience supporting parents, babies, or vulnerable families
  • Understand safeguarding and can follow procedures confidently
  • Are patient, professional, and able to maintain clear boundaries
  • Are reliable and flexible, particularly with 24/7 rota commitments
  • Can quickly build rapport while remaining observant and child-focused
Why Join Us?
  • Flexible full-time hours on an ad hoc basis
  • An opportunity to make a meaningful difference to a family in need
  • Support from an experienced, multidisciplinary team
  • Potential for ongoing work beyond the initial 12-week period
