Hours & Contract: 35 Hours per week - Permanent Role

Location: Homebased - covering five of TACT's registered offices which are based in Scotland, Yorkshire and The North East, North West England, North Wales and East Midlands 

As a ‘not for profit’ organisation, TACT puts the needs of our children and carers first and look to appoint individuals who are as passionate about fostering as we are. We are a homeworking organisation, and we pride ourselves on our flexible working opportunities, available from day one, an extensive wellbeing programme and our benefits package, all curated to nurture a healthy work life balance for all our employees so they can give an excellent service to our carers and the young people and children we care for.

As a foster care charity, TACT invests all surplus income into services, staff, carers, and child development. This means that we have been able to invest unique projects like TACT Connect, our unique and ground-breaking scheme for TACT care experienced young people and adults,  as well as our expanding Education and Health services. All our activities are built on our commitment to becoming a fully trauma informed organisation, in line with our key values and ethos.

In 2024 TACT became one of the top 5 charities to work for in the UK, placing 5th in the UK Best Companies Work For survey results , and a top 25 mid-sized company to work with across the whole of the UK.   97% of our people feel proud to work with TACT and think that TACT cares about their wellbeing, while 92% of our people would say they “ love working for TACT”.

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience of the foster care sector and will ideally have wider experience working across services who support children and families. 

We are looking for a strong strategic and commercial leader with strong people leadership skills, experienced in managing change and working in innovative and fast paced environments. 

TACT are committed to our journey in becoming a trauma informed organisation. We are looking for individuals who have or are willing to operate and demonstrate leadership within trauma informed principles.

  • 31 days paid holiday plus 8 annual bank holidays.

  • 45p per mile for business travel.
  • Flexible working arrangements (including compressed hours, flexibility around core hours, volunteer days policy).

  • An hour a week of live, expert led activities through the Annual Employee wellbeing Programme.
  • Menopause Policy and free Menopause Clinician Appointments.
  • Stakeholder Pension Scheme (salary sacrifice).
  • Fantastic learning and development opportunities for all roles.
