About this Role

We are seeking a Family Liaison Officer to act as a vital link between school, home, and external agencies, supporting families to overcome barriers to engagement and wellbeing. The Family Liaison Officer will coordinate Early Help, Child in Need (CIN), and Team Around the Family (TAF) processes, ensuring effective communication and collaboration.

As a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL), they will play a key role in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils.

This is a three‑day‑per‑week role, providing focused, high‑impact support across safeguarding, attendance, and family engagement.

Alongside family liaison work, this is also a pupil‑facing role — requiring warmth, empathy, and strong relational skills when working directly with children who have Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), and related Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
