Job description

Our Purpose

Unlocking Potential is the charity that supports schools and communities to ensure no child or family struggles alone with their social, emotional and mental health needs. We provide flexible, over-time, multi-disciplinary therapeutic support that meets children and families where they are, and enables them to feel safe, understood and the best version of themselves.

Our Vision

Everyone feels supported, equipped and able to achieve their potential.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide tailored therapeutic support to more children, while training the practitioners of the future to build holistic, resilient social systems that equip children and their families with the confidence, tools, and skills to thrive at school and within their communities.

Values

  • Individual: Everything we do is about the individual and what is right for them – no two children, families or schools are the same.
  • Innovative: We look for new solutions, evolving our thinking and approach – ensuring the use of bold, co-designed practice.
  • Collaborative: We choose to work with others to find the best solutions – we are stronger together.

Our Family Support Programme

We launched our Family Support Programme in September 2025, initially as a three year pilot working with families across Wandsworth, with aims to be able to expand and continue the service beyond this. This service offers flexible, relationship-based support to families facing a range of challenges, helping them navigate systems, strengthen protective factors, and improve outcomes for children. Operating across extended hours, the service is accessible and responsive, with a strong focus on early intervention, collaboration, and building trust with families.

About the role

We are looking for a skilled and compassionate Family Support Worker to join our new Family Support Service, supporting families initially across our partner schools in Wandsworth (with the aim of expanding the service beyond this over time).

This is a unique opportunity to be part of an innovative early help service from the outset, working within a small, dynamic team to make a tangible difference to the lives of children and their families. As a Family Support Worker, you will deliver flexible, hands-on, and therapeutically minded support to families facing multiple and complex challenges.

You will build trusted relationships through home visits, school meetings, and practical support - empowering parents and carers to strengthen routines, manage behaviour, improve attendance, and access services. Your role will be guided by detailed needs assessments and focused on achieving meaningful outcomes with each family.

Working closely with schools, health and social care professionals, and other local partners, you will contribute to effective, joined-up support for families. Using a restorative approach, you will help build resilience and give families the tools they need to make informed decisions and sustain positive change.

This role is ideally suited to someone with experience working in early help, family support, or community-based roles. You will be confident working independently in family homes, committed to safeguarding, and motivated by making a real difference in children’s lives. You'll also benefit from high-quality supervision, therapeutic reflective practice, and a supportive team culture that values learning, collaboration and compassion.

Other Information:

  • How to apply: In line with safer recruitment practices, to apply for this role please complete an application form by following the link on our online recruitment portal. As part of the application, you will be asked to upload your CV and a personal statement which should clearly demonstrate (giving relevant examples) how you meet the requirements of the person specification.
  • Safeguarding: We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all those who work with us to share this commitment. It's a criminal offence for a person to apply to work with a group from which they have been barred from working. We follow safer recruitment practices in line with KCSIE including (but not limited to): online checks at interview stage, an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check, satisfactory references, a medical check, proof of qualifications and right to work in the UK.
  • Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging: Our children and families and staff come from a wide range of backgrounds, and we value the unique contribution that each individual can bring to UP. We have a diverse and inclusive team, and we strongly believe that this is vital to our work. We welcome applications from all sectors of the community, and we do not discriminate against any applicants on the basis of any protected characteristics. We ensure that candidates and employees are treated solely on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential.
  • We want you to have everything you need to make an informed application, if something is unclear, you would like more information, or if you require any reasonable adjustments at any stage of the application process, then please get in touch.

Example Benefits:

  • Enhanced sick leave
  • Enhanced family leave 
  • Income Protection Policy
