Children And Family Services, Project Worker

Niacro’s Children and Family services team provide a suite of interventions within the Southern Health and Social Care Trust locality, supporting families to access appropriate services at the earliest stage. The Family Support HUB offers initial support and triage to families. Family referrals are presented at a hub meeting, made up of voluntary, community and statutory organisations matching requests for family support to appropriate services. Niacro hosts the Craigavon & Banbridge area Family Support Hub (responsible for accepting referrals and coordinating responses to referrers and families). Another service NIACRO offers within the Southern Trust is EISS – Early Intervention Support Service. This service offers short term support to families with children aged 0-18 years who have additional needs or are facing challenges that are difficult to overcome. Both services work hand in hand and are primarily focused on families within the Craigavon and Banbridge locality area.
As a Children and Family Services Project worker, the post holder will help ensure families receive support at the earliest stage, working closely with the members of the FSH to review and agree next steps. The post holder will provide direct outreach support and interventions to children and families who need support as well as signposting onwards as required.
