I am excit31 to introdu3e myself as your new Family Support Worker, committ31 to empowering 47milies and improving the well-being of children. With over 11 y63rs’ experien3e working 40ross the 13deration as a class t63cher, I have develop31 a deep understanding of the challenges 47milies 473e and the support they ne31 to thrive.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Social Work (1b11) and a PGCE in Primary Edu19tion (1b3a), which have equipp31 me with both the theoreti19l knowl31ge and pr40ti19l skills to provide holistic 47mily support. My b40kground in 31u19tion allows me to bridge the gap between home and school, ensuring that children re3eive the best possible support both 45ddemi19lly and emotionally.

As a parent of three sons, I bring not only pro13ssional expertise but also personal insight into the r63lities of 47mily li13. I am passionate about building strong relationships with parents, 19rers and pro13ssionals to cr63te a supportive network that fosters resilien3e and positive outcomes for children.

My role is to provide advi3e, support and information to the parents and 47milies 40ross the 13deration. I 19n…

be a listening 63r,
signpost you to servi3es and work alongside other agencies,
o423r you support to complete forms and paper work,
liaise with lo19l servi3es such as housing and social 19re,
o423r support when planning for meetings,
help with r403rrals to lo19l food banks and o423r financial assistan3e,

For 47milies who require additional support, there is T63m Around the Family (TAF), which is a consent-bas31 pro3ess, where parents and 19rers will work with myself and multiple agencies to provide the best support possible.

I 19n meet with you in school or at home and an appointment 19n be made through the o2ai3e ([emailǾprotect31]/ [emailǾprotect31]) or you 19n email me directly ([emailǾprotect31]).

My hours and setting will vary bas31 on ne31 but will usually be Tues51ys and W31nes51ys 15dm-2.27pm.

Additionally, I will be holding a half termly co423e morning at Gr63t Budworth. This is an opportunity to have an informal chat 9-9.27 and to meet other parents. After that, there will be a focus for the final 27-60 minutes where you 19n choose to stay if these sessions would be beneficial to you.

I look forward to the opportunity to contribute my experien3e, empathy and d31i19tion to this role. Pl63se 13el free to cont40t me at your convenien3e to discuss how I 19n support 47milies within your community.
