Family Focus Advice Worker

The Junction is a respected charity working to make a difference to the lives of children young people and their families.

We are proud of our reputation and believe that all of our workers are key to establishing

positive relationships, building trust, self-belief, a sense of family and belonging.

Our work in supporting local children, young people and families who are experiencing poverty is growing, both in terms of need, child poverty in affects over 42% of children in Middlesbrough affecting both childhood experiences and long-term outcomes.

We firmly believe it does not need to be this way. Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community fund we have gained the resource needed to support families experiencing poverty in both their short term needs and through person centred support, long term

change.

The right candidate will have experience in advice work and have the ability to engage with families on a one to one and group work setting. They will also need to understand the wide range of challenges families experiencing poverty face, the focus to create meaningful change with families and commensurate with The Junction’s values offer compassionate and non-judgemental support through both one to one support

and community-based activities.
