About us:

Jesmond Gardens is a 315-place primary school, located in Hartlepool, with an excellent reputation in the local community.

Our most important people, our children, are happy to attend, keen to learn, and have behaviour and attitudes that are exemplary. However, they still need our support, along with their families, if they are to succeed in becoming lifelong learners and successful adults, hence these two crucial roles.

The Family Support Officer will have, as part of their role, responsibility as designated safeguarding lead under the direction of the Head Teacher. The role will include working alongside parents at the preventative stage, including assessments and referrals to Early Help and other agencies. The role will also include working with children on specific programmes, and on transition/admission. Therefore, liaison between the FSO and PSA is crucial.
