Service Objectives
The Stratford District Children & Family Centre services improve the outcomes and life chances for all children, young people and their families by offering effective preventative and early intervention services, with a focus on those who are hardest to reach and are experiencing the greatest challenges in life.
This role is based in Barnardo's Stratford District Locality.
Roles and responsibilities specific to this post
The role of the Practitioner will be to deliver direct services to families through one-to-one support, groups, activities and courses. This may be delivered through a variety of means, including virtual platforms; and by phone; but mostly in person. Our primary focus will be working with children aged 0-11 years and their parents, as well as some groups for young people aged up to 19 years (25 years with SEND). Our work is all about making the biggest impact during the best window of opportunity in a child's life.
The postholder will be required to be flexible to work across the Stratford District in our centres and community venues, as outreach work is a significant and regular part of our work. For this reason, access to your own transport would be essential.
This role requires flexibility from both parties and the postholder may be asked to work evenings and weekends - we are advertising for between 14 and 21 hours a week, please specify in your application the hours you can do.
We are looking to appoint an experienced Practitioner, but would also consider applicants who are committed to completing a level 3 childcare qualification. This is a busy and varied role where you will be required to work autonomously (lone working) and as part of a team to deliver a range of services.
Offer fun and engaging activities to support children to develop positive social and emotional skills; Offer engaging groups for Young People Plan activities in line with the EYFS; Build positive relationships with parents/ carers; Hold sometimes difficult/ challenging conversations with parents; Offer advice and support, or signpost and refer parents to the most appropriate service. Job specific requirements:
It is especially important that the successful candidate is able to demonstrate experience of and/or an understanding of the following:
When completing your application please refer to your skills knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification, Job Description and Additional Information document (if applicable). This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described

Pay & Reward FrameworkWe know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's . We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.
For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.
Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
