About Govan HELP

We are a small, locally based, family education support charity that aims to improve the educational attainment, life chances and opportunities of vulnerable children and families living within Govan.

We offer a range of integrated, early intervention services to support children and their families who are experiencing multiple disadvantages.

The Role

Families are referred to Govan Help’s family support service via several partner agencies including education, health and social work as well as self referrals and you may work together to assess and support families needs. Your role will vary depending on the unmet needs of the family you are supporting. We are based in the heart of Govan and the role is delivered flexibly from our base, in families homes and in the Govan community to meet the diverse needs of the Govan families.

You will be responsible for a caseload of families who require intensive support, design and deliver group work programmes, and other general aspects of service delivery in relation to the communities needs. Our core hours are Monday-Friday 9am-5pm but there may be some occasional requirement to work flexibly in the evening or at weekends to meet the needs of the service and carry out any other reasonable duties as required.

Application notes

Interviews are expected to be held in the week commencing 11th March 2024.
