Ilford, United Kingdom Barnardos Full time

Birmingham Forward Steps is a citywide service delivered collaboratively by Birmingham Community Healthcare Trust working alongside , and other voluntary organisations, operated across ten districts for  children and  their  parents/ carers from shortly before birth up to the age of five.

The service is designed to provide all families of preschool  children  with  accessible, community-based services in  their  own homes, GP surgeries,  children 's centres and a number of other community venues such as places of worship or libraries,  with  extra help available to those that need it.

Barnardo's is directly managing 4 of those districts and we are seeking to recruit 3 Early Years Outreach Worker for our Ladywood District Children's Centres: 2 roles are Permanent positions and 1 role is Fixed Term Maternity cover until 31st March 2025.

 As an Early Years and Outreach Worker, you will be required to:

• To undertake 2-year development reviews using the ASQ assessment to holistically assess the child's general health, physical, social, emotional, behavioural and language development following successful completion of the competency framework.
• To design, plan and deliver targeted group work such as stay and play sessions, speech and language activities, SEND support/activities, family learning and baby groups
• To provide specific activities parents can use in the home to develop their child's speech and language skills and undertake home visits where necessary.
• Provide guidance and support to families on EEE, childcare options, child development, child safety and early education.
• To communicate key messages to pregnant mothers and new parents in relation to attachment and bonding with their baby, providing support in a clear and empathetic manner
• To provide support to women who are breastfeeding, encouraging the development of group support as required
• To engage with local partners and communities to promote key public health messages e.g infant feeding, weaning, oral health, nutrition advice and deliver workshops where required.
• To provide crèche facilities for under 5s while their parents/carers participate in parent-focussed activities.
• To work with the parents of children under 5 who require support with their child's emotional health and behaviours.
• To support parents who have under 5s with SEND needs ensuring inclusive practice and signposting to additional specialist support as required.
• Make effective links with Family Support staff ensuring all relevant information is shared, as appropriate, in relation to the children and parents.
• To attend and participate in multi-agency meetings as required and provide reports.
• To work flexibly and deliver services across the service as directed.

This role will require you to travel independently across the Ladywood District, therefore you must be flexible and adaptable, particularly in relation to working hours and location. A full driving licence and use of your own vehicle would be an advantage.

The working pattern for this role will be 5 days a week but may include some occasional evenings and weekends. Barnardo's believe in creating equality of opportunity in the workplace and supporting people to manage  their  work-life balance.

At Barnardo's we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of  children  and we expect all staff and volunteers to share in this commitment. Our safer recruitment processes mean that the safety and welfare of the child is paramount at every stage of the process and therefore, we adopt rigorous scrutiny in our pre-employment checking. This post is subject to a range of pre-employment checks including a Criminal Records Enhanced Disclosure for the successful candidate.

When completing your application please refer to your skills knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification, Job Description and Additional Information document. This should be done  with  an understanding of the context of the service described. Please note, we do not accept CVs.

Please note due to the high volume of applications for some posts, this advert might close before the displayed closing date. We recommend that you apply for this role as soon as possible.

Pay & Reward Framework

We 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.
