Vulnerable children in the UK need your help
Wherever you work in the Action for Children family, you'll be helping to change the lives of the most vulnerable children in the UK.
Last year, we helped more than 687,000 children and families across the UK. From direct work in communities to national campaigning, we are focused on making sure every child has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive.
Why Action for Children?
Working here is more than a job. Everyone in the Action for Children family is passionate about protecting and supporting children. It's the sense of purpose that drives us every single day. Because we know that, when we work together, we can make a huge difference to bring lasting improvements to vulnerable children's lives.
A bit about the role
The Dundee Youth Housing Service, in collaboration with the Dundee City Council, fulfills its statutory duty by supporting homeless young people aged 16 and above. The aim of the service is to engage with young people and families at the earliest opportunity. To be responsive, to prevent situations escalating, and take the pressure off the local authority front line services.
As the initial point of contact for any young person facing homelessness in the city, our service plays a crucial role. Within the strategic housing partnership, Action for Children stands as the sole organisation dedicated to preventing young individuals from becoming homeless. Our service operates 24/7.
Our primary focus is to provide temporary accommodation for young people who have been assessed as homeless. We extend our support to young individuals who are homeless, have care experience, or are seeking asylum.
How you'll help to create brighter futures
Some key responsibilities for Children's Services Manager are;
- Leading, motivating and managing a range of services and support staff to deliver a quality service
- Championing top-tier safeguarding practices by overseeing procedures and advocating for the protection of children, families, and youth with unwavering commitment.
- Collaborating with teams in business development and fundraising to forge and enhance partnerships with current and prospective funders, gathering local insights, and crafting proposals or bids to maintain or expand our service reach.
- Leading the charge in managing transitions, including the initiation, expansion, downsizing, or restructuring of services and community projects.
Let's talk about you
- A qualification relevant to the services within the remit of this post as well as successful management and delivery of commissioned services.
- Developing and maintaining effective networks, relationships, partnerships and contacts to improve service outcomes.
- Significant experience of managing and developing operational services for children, young people and their families.
- Improving service provision through the workforce, addressing challenges within the management of people and service provision (in particular improving employee performance).
- Demonstrable financial and commercial acumen and awareness through management of budgets, costing and analytics.
