About the role
Step Up Step Down is a pioneering approach to supporting families on the edge of care, demonstrating a reduction in the numbers of children coming into care, and improved outcomes for children and families.

Based in Pembrokeshire and working closing with the local authority team, the Project Worker will be the main point of contact for implementation and delivery of Step Up Step Down.

As well as delivering training to parents, the Project Worker will lead groups and activities for children and young people, building relationships and engaging with community support services. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate the ability to work within a trauma informed setting, with a solution focused approach.
This role will involve day to day work directly with families and services within Pembrokeshire and so the successful candidate will need to be located within the authority or within a reasonable travel distance.
