Do you have knowledge and experience of working with disabled children and young people and their families - together with a passion to improve the lives and outcomes of disabled children, young people and their families?

The Disabled Children Service is a dynamic team that stays involved with a child through the breadth of social care intervention, holding the child's hand through their journey from various services.

Our family support workers work with disabled children, young people and their families who receive support services from our social work team, occupational therapy team or the Social Care Hub.

They provide support to empower families to address various challenges, reducing problems and risks. They can help parents, carers and disabled children and young people with a range of social and personal issues.

Our family support workers are trained to deliver specialist parenting courses which are personalised to support disabled children and young people complex needs.
