Rainbow Trust is an equal opportunities employer and a Best Companies One-Star rated organisation. Registered Charity No: 1070532

We’re looking for a kind and compassionate person to join our Family Support team supporting families 
in Sussex. You’ll support families whose child has cancer or a life-challenging condition, offering 
emotional and practical support when it’s most needed – helping families feel less alone.

You’ll split your time between Worthing Hospital, keeping in touch with and visiting families across 
Sussex, working closely with hospital teams, schools, and community services. Whether it’s sitting with a 
parent on the ward, visiting a family at home, or checking in with a sibling who’s struggling, you’ll make 
sure families know they’re never facing this journey alone.

We offer a flexible, hybrid role over four days, with regular peer support, clinical supervision, and 
opportunities to develop your skills. You’ll be part of a small, friendly, and passionate team who look out 
for each other just as much as we look out for the families we support.

This role is about being calm, empathetic, building trust, being there when it matters, and making sure 
families know they’re not alone.

Supporting Families
• Offer emotional and practical support tailored to each family’s situation, listening closely and 
responding with care from the moment they’re referred
• Keep in regular contact through home visits, hospital visits, calls, texts or emails – so families know 
what help is available and that they’re not facing this alone
• Manage your own caseload, prioritising contact based on need and making sure families always feel 
supported
• Create and regularly review personal support plans using our Momentum Outcomes tool
• Connect families to Momentum services - such as counselling, creative therapies, respite breaks and 
family experiences – as well as trusted external organisations when needed
• Collaborate with our social work service when a family may need more specialist help with complex 
needs – such as education, housing issues, benefits, or safeguarding concerns.
• Recognise the needs of siblings, grandparents and carers, helping them to find the right support too
• When required, support families under palliative care with compassion and sensitivity
• Work closely with our Echoes team to ensure bereaved families transition to their specialist support 
smoothly and with care

Working in Hospital
• Visit Worthing Hospital regularly, in line with need, to support with existing Momentum families and 
meet new referrals
• Build strong, positive relationships with hospital staff, and other professionals so you become a 
trusted part of the team on the paediatric ward, including attending MDT's, sharing professional 
knowledge of our families and maintaining accurate records
• Be a friendly and approachable presence for professionals and families alike, clearly explaining what 
Momentum can offer
• Follow hospital policies on infection control, dress code and safeguarding at all times

Working in the Community
• Visit families across Sussex who need support at home
• Continue supporting families after treatment ends, helping them adjust and find their way forward
• Work with schools and local services to support children’s emotional wellbeing
• Build relationships with local community teams to expand Momentum’s support to families in need
• Make sure every family feels part of Momentum for as long as they need us

Professional Responsibilities
• Keep clear, accurate and confidential records of your work on our secure database
• Share stories, photos and anonymised family updates (with consent) to help the charity’s fundraising 
and communications
• Join team meetings, clinical supervision and training (some virtual, some at our office near Hampton 
Court Station, Surrey)
• Act promptly on any safeguarding concerns in line with Momentum’s policies
• Follow all guidelines for lone working, safeguarding, data protection and health & safety
• Take on other tasks that help us deliver our family support services for example managing family
events i.e. coffee mornings and family days out

An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes and the right support they need.  Central to our ethos is our belief that people with first-hand experience of successfully overcoming issues such as an offending background, homelessness, addictions and gang involvement, hold the key to positive change in others.

About this key role

Our successful candidate will deliver tailored, young person-centred support to those who are not yet ready for education, training, or employment (ETE).  You will hold a caseload of up to 15 young people at one time, supporting at least 60 over the course of a year, and work collaboratively with allocated Caseworkers to develop and deliver practical, strengths-based plans that build confidence, motivation, and personal development.

You will identify and help young people access appropriate opportunities, including volunteering, insight days, traineeships, and early work experience and help them overcome barriers that impact their ability to engage with ETE — supporting them to take small, achievable steps towards long-term goals. We will also count on you to build and maintain strong working relationships with local ETE providers, employers, and community partners to source meaningful opportunities, plus ensure you keep accurate and timely records of all work in line with all safeguarding legislation, best practice, and St Giles policies and procedures.

What we are looking for

• Experience independently addressing safeguarding issues with children, young people, and adults at risk of violence or exploitation

• Skilled in conducting thorough risk assessments and identifying the needs of children and young people at risk of significant harm

• Proven ability to work effectively as part of a multi-agency team, collaborating to achieve positive outcomes for young people and their families/carers

• Comprehensive understanding of the complex issues facing young people, such as exploitation, victimisation, offending, gang involvement, unemployment, and trauma

• Awareness of local ETE providers, referral routes, and barriers young people face accessing opportunities

• Excellent interpersonal, relationship-building and communication skills, verbal and written

• A professional, collaborative and flexible approach to your work

Please note:  as an organisation that works with children and adults at risk we are committed to safeguarding, protecting and promoting the safety of our clients and successful applicants will be subject to an Enhanced Child Workforce with Child Barred list DBS.

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, clinical therapist sessions, life insurance (4 x annual salary), duvet days, season ticket loan, employee perks programme, eye care voucher and much more.

We are an equity and inclusion confident employer. We welcome all applications, and we particularly encourage applications from people of the global majority (black, brown, multi- heritage) and those who identify as disabled, neuroexpansive, neurodiverse, with any protected characteristics and/or social barriers or challenges. We value the empowering and informative impact that all lived experiences and diversity of thought can offer the organisation.

St Giles will guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria set out in the Job Description for the vacancy.

We will be reviewing applications as they are received, and reserve the right to close this advert early if a suitable candidate is appointed. We therefore strongly encourage early applications to avoid any disappointment
