Childcare Placements Support Officer

3 weeks ago


Cardiff, United Kingdom Cardiff Council Full time

**About The Service**
The Flying Start Programme is funded by Welsh Government and helps families with children under 4 years of age in disadvantaged areas across Wales. The programme consists of four key elements:

- An enhanced Health Visiting Service
- Access to Parenting Programmes
- Speech & Language support to help children to talk and communicate.
- Funded part time childcare for 2 - 3-year-olds

**About the job**
Are you a motivated individual who can “get the job done”? If so, you could be the next Placement Support Officer.

The Childcare Placements Support Officer will be responsible for:

- Planning, organising, and delivering an effective placement service in line with Council and Welsh Government Guidance and Statutory requirements.
- Supporting the collation, monitoring and review of data in order to provide information relating to the provision of placements.
- Act as a first point of contact for queries relating to placements.
- Ensure compliance with all required policies, procedures, legislation, and statutory requirements.

Many of our teams have moved to hybrid working, this involves online and homeworking as well as office-based work. Where homeworking is required, you will be given the necessary equipment however, you will need to arrange your own internet connectivity. As part of this role, you will also be expected to regularly visit the Flying Start Childcare Settings.

**What We Are Looking For From You**
Families eligible for Flying Start depend on us to deliver the childcare placement that their child is entitled to. We are looking for individuals who can:

- work effectively and collaboratively with internal and external key stakeholders.
- explore a variety of options to effectively solve problems and make reasoned decisions.
- manage their own workload in a fast-paced environment.
- demonstrate the ability to prioritise and work to deadlines.
- lead others to “get the job done”.

**Additional information**

Safeguarding and Child Protection are key priorities for the Council. We aim to support children and vulnerable adults to ensure they are as safe as they can possibly be. Our services and schools are committed to ensuring the safety and protection of all children and vulnerable adults, and will take action to safeguard their well-being, and acknowledge that children and vulnerable adults have a right to protection. This is supported in the general ethos of the Council and all schools.
