Full Time Permanency Service Team Leader (37.5 hours pw)

• Are you experienced in managing fostering and/or adoption services?
• Are you committed to providing the best quality foster carers and adopters for troubled children?
• Do you want to work in a multi-disciplinary team of skilled professionals to ensure good therapeutic Post Adoption and Fostering support, and to motivate and support other social workers to do so too?

If the answer’s ‘yes’ – get in touch!

Why? Family Futures is:

• An adoption and adoption support agency awarded an outstanding rating by OFSTED in 2018 for our third consecutive inspection.
• Has a reputation for innovation and offering a high-quality service - an integrated multi-disciplinary assessment, treatment and family finding service for adopted and fostered children who often are more challenging to place or to maintain in placement.

We Offer:

• High quality support, supervision and training
• The opportunity to work creatively, as a key part of our multi-disciplinary team, in a child-centred way, informed by current research, using a well-evidenced model of understanding the need of children with traumatic histories.
• Small caseloads, meaning you can work in depth with families and support the staff team to do so
• Competitive salary and a supportive working environment, which recognises the stress of this type of work and nurtures staff, enabling staff to grow their skills and gain satisfaction from supporting carers/adopters to become therapeutic parents and children to heal and thrive.

Who we are:

The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a national charity that inspires young people aged 8-24 to imagine a new future through and beyond cancer treatment. When treatment ends our work begins, as for many young people simply picking up where they left off before their diagnosis just isn’t possible.

Through sailing and other outdoor activities, the Trust empowers young people to make friends with others who have had similar experiences (often for the first time), learn new skills, push their physical and mental boundaries, rebuild confidence and rediscover independence. Crucially, they stop feeling like the ‘only one’ and realise what they are capable of again. They can start looking positively towards the future.

The Trust has two bases - in Cowes on the Isle of Wight and Largs on Scotland’s West Coast – and employs a full-time team of 19.

• Make meaningful connections with more young people
• Secure a diverse and robust income stream
• Improve the impact of our work

HEAD OF HR

CARDINAL HUME CENTRE, WESTMINSTER, LONDON
FULL-TIME, £45,000 PA 

CLOSING DATE: Monday 1st February

FIRST INTERVIEWS: 16th and 19th February

• Are you passionate about preventing and tackling youth and family homelessness?
• Can you use your HR knowledge and leadership skills to help our Centre reach its full potential?
• Can you help build and champion a diverse, values-led team?

Over the past thirty years the Cardinal Hume Centre has seen substantial growth.  Based in Westminster we work hard for homeless young people, insecurely housed families and their children.  Last year, over 1600 people used our different services.

We have made real improvements in recent years, but we know we face challenging times.  In nearly all its forms, homelessness is increasing and in Westminster around a third of families live in poverty. People face the highest housing costs in the country, a challenging labour market and rising levels of violent crime.  Some of those we support come from care or broken relationships, some are seeking asylum, safety and support. 

Throughout the pandemic we have kept our services open, helping over 900 individuals and families since the lockdown began. Our commitment to this work means we have sustained our income during a difficult period.  We know however that the challenges of Covid-19 are not for the short term, and particularly now, our response is too important to be left to chance.

We are therefore changing our approach. We want to focus far more of our efforts on young people, children and families.  To tackle homelessness, poor housing and poverty at a young age and break its cycle into later life.  We want to see the value in each individual and nurture potential, helping young people and families to thrive.

It is a deliberately preventative strategy that requires a strong team.  The translation of new values, goals and objectives needs to be backed by the development of our staff.  We want to build a united, values led team and a Centre that meaningfully supports the progress of everyone that works for us.  Just as want to value the potential in our clients, so too do we need to value the potential in our staff and volunteers.  

As part of this we now want to recruit a new Head of HR.  Of course the role will include responsibility and management of our HR policies and processes, but alongside this will be leadership of a people strategy to build and develop a successful team.  In particular we need this role to champion diversity across the Centre and help us build leadership that more actively reflects the community we serve.

It is of course vitally important that you have professional expertise and experience of working in a similar or stand-alone role.  But equally important is a passion for the Centre’s mission, its values and an enthusiastic and collaborative approach.  We particularly want to encourage people from black and minority ethnic and other underrepresented groups to apply for this role and to support our efforts to build a more diverse and skilled leadership team.

You can find out more details and apply on our website.  For further information or a confidential discussion regarding the role please contact our CEO

You may have experience of the following: Head of HR, Human Resources, HR, Head of Human Resources, Organisational Development, HR Director, OD, Employment Law, CIPD, Consultant, Senior HR Manager, HRBP, Director of Human Resources, Strategy, Employee Relations, HR Business Partner, Charity, Charities, NFP, Not for Profit, etc.
