Family Hubs

The Family Hubs programme is a new Government funded programme.

Our new family hubs will be based in neighbourhoods offering families health services, employment support, creative play and parenting programmes

We know that families need support and activities no matter the age of their children and our new hubs will offer relevant support for different stages of family life

Our team has a shared sense of unity, support and community building at the heart of what we do.  

We have recently developed our three year delivery plan and have the programme architecture and governance in place.  The programme is a large, complex and fast moving programme.  

Housing

Waltham Forest Council is committed to reduce the risk of homelessness for residents, through a relational, preventative approach. The housing sustainment team will be at the heart of this process, supporting vulnerable residents to find and keep a stable home.  

As a team, you will be proactively identifying residents at risk of losing their home, deliver tailored advice and assistance to them, building on their strengths.

We are looking for caring, responsive and resilient people., who are committed to improve the lives of residents by ensuring people live in good quality homes.

This is a chance to make a real difference by tackling homelessness in Waltham Forest, and helping families keep a roof over their heads in challenging times.
