About the role
We’re looking for a Parent Programme Officer to help deliver this important programme with integrity and care.

You’ll support research and evaluation, maintain robust systems and make sure our work is informed by evidence and grounded in lived experience.
We’re keen to work with experienced practitioners in the Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities (SFSC) model, or people that are familiar with it and have extensive expertise with other group parenting programmes.
You will be an organised and confident communicator who values openness and collaboration. You’ll bring experience in partnership working, programme delivery and safeguarding, with the ability to build rapport and manage sensitive situations with professionalism.

Funded by the Youth Endowment Fund, our intervention and research project, SFSC: Safer Lives, works to prevent offending and reduce youth violence by strengthening family relationships, increasing parental confidence, and promoting young people’s self-discipline, social skills and self-esteem.
The SFSC: Safer Lives programme builds on the ground-breaking work of the Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities inclusive parenting programme, which has demonstrated how parenting support can be provided effectively to minoritised and marginalised families.
