The organisation
This is a great place to work, where everyone is high performing and where together everyone can achieve impact that makes a real difference for vulnerable children and families. Focussing on using and championing high quality evidence, working directly with government and local leaders, the team provides practical solutions and encourages change. This is an organisation with ambitious aims and people are essential to its success.
Some of the great benefits include:
- 30 days annual leave, plus one extra day off for your birthday, paid bank holidays with up to three which may be switched for religious observance
- Up to five days carers’ leave, in a 12-month period, three days paid
