Who we are:

LDN London is an award-winning charity with over 60 years’ experience of supporting people with learning disabilities to stay healthy, be safe and live well. 

We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Head of Family Service to join our Children and Family Services.  Working with LDN London means that every day will be different, and you will be part of a team providing support to society’s most vulnerable children and adults.

You will have the privilege to be part of young people’s joys, triumphs, failures, frustrations, sadness and laughter. However, most of all you will be there to provide the right support to make a life worth living and enable access to everything life has to offer, just like for everyone else.

About the role:

The Head of Family Service will lead and manage our Family Service across all locations, providing holistic support to families with children and young adults with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

This role involves the delivery of grant and commissioned outcomes, supporting the Assistant Director for Children, Families and Communities and working with the Head of Community Engagement to secure new funding, ensuring services meet the current and future needs of children and young adults and of their families.

The Head of Family Service will build a high-performing team, work with stakeholders, and operate within legislation, policies, budgets, and other parameters to deliver outstanding support.

This role involves ambitious family-centred practice, tailored support plans, and ensuring positive outcomes for families. The Head of Family Service will encourage parent and carer engagement in consultation and participation activities, work effectively with a multidisciplinary team of external professionals, and establish and maintain close operational relationships with schools, family hubs, social care and health services. 

We are looking for someone who has a good understanding of Special Education Needs and Disabilities and the challenges to navigate education, health and welfare systems. They need to understand needs of families and be able to work collaboratively to achieve our goals.  The ideal candidate will be able to self-motivate and work independently whilst keeping in line with LDN London.

About you:

You must be able to demonstrate the ability to develop strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. As a self-starter, you will be able to use your own initiative, can problem solve and prioritise, with good planning and organisational skills. In addition, you will need a positive, resilient attitude, be able to work under pressure, meet deadlines and be flexible and adaptable.   

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking for a new challenge
