This is a unique role that combines day-to-day team leadership, family support practice and youth work delivery. You’ll support and coordinate a team of Family Support Officers and youth workers, while staying closely connected to frontline work with children, young people and families across the hospital.

You’ll help make sure families receive high-quality, trauma-informed support when they need it most, whether that’s emotional support on the wards, practical help during a difficult hospital journey, or creating calm, welcoming spaces where children, young people and families feel seen, heard and supported.

You will need strong experience supporting children, young people and families, alongside the confidence to guide a team in a busy, emotionally complex environment. You’ll be someone who can stay calm under pressure, build trusted relationships, make thoughtful decisions and bring people with you.
