This position is ideal for someone who is compassionate and committed to making a positive impact in the lives of children and their families.

As part of the organization, you will enjoy generous annual leave, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, eligibility for enhanced family leave and sick pay, and comprehensive training opportunities tailored to your personal development.

We prioritize the growth of our staff through regular reviews and have a strong track record of supporting individuals in their career advancement.

All staff receive support through monthly one-on-one sessions and have access to a wellbeing support program.

We provide a thorough induction and shadowing process for all new employees, along with excellent training and development opportunities.

Please ensure that your application includes a supporting statement that clearly demonstrates how you meet the essential and desirable criteria outlined in the job description. Incomplete applications may not be considered.

We are committed to fostering a diverse workforce and providing an inclusive and safe environment.
