Are you passionate about improving the lives of children, young people and their families?
Are you experienced in creating inspiring programmes and offering life-changing one-to-one support?
Are you committed to putting children and young people at the heart of decision-making?

About the role

We are looking for a dynamic, creative, innovative team player to join our Young People and Families Service. This role will be based in Wales (Cardiff office) and the South West of England, but will also support service delivery across UK.

As a Young People and Families Worker you will work with colleagues, partners, healthcare professionals, schools, volunteers, and - most importantly - young people and families to co-plan, deliver and evaluate a high quality, holistic support offer, both locally and nationally.

You will help young people living with arthritis to build their confidence, make friends and achieve their personal goals. This will be achieved by providing one-to-one support, creating a community of peer support for young people and families and working with volunteers to co-deliver self-management activities on a variety of topics.

You will also co-design an exciting program of social events, youth voice opportunities, digital content and residential events. You will act as the bridge between young people, their families and professionals - especially in healthcare settings where you will play a unique role working collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to meet a range of needs.

The role
Drive is a high risk / high harm domestic abuse perpetration intervention. Its sole aim is to reduce the risk posed by those using high levels of harm towards family members and / or (ex) partners. This is achieved via disruption, diversion and direct behaviour change work, where safe to do so, within a multi-agency framework.

The Case Manager will strive to work one-to-one with perpetrators who have been identified as high risk to pro-actively secure engagement, influence attitudinal and behavioural change and connect with complementary services. To do this, the Case Manager will work with local agencies to design a co-ordinated, strategic individual intervention plan to address identified needs and risks and promote understanding of the impact of abusive behaviours. However, it may not always be safe or possible to meet with the perpetrator. Equally as vital to risk reduction efforts is analysis of presenting information to identify ways to disrupt their abusive behaviour, alongside closeknit multiagency working to implement actions.

Throughout all intervention the Drive Case Manager will work closely with the local IDVA service to review risk, develop safety plans and improve outcomes for all parties involved.

The Case Manager will be responsible for delivering outcomes, working typically for up to 12 months to achieve behaviour change with each Service User.

About you

You’ll have a deep understanding of the nature of domestic abuse and its effects on clients and children, as well as the reasons behind abusive behaviours towards intimate partners.

Your knowledge extends to the range of statutory and voluntary agencies that clients and their children may encounter, and you are aware of the impact of domestic abuse on children and parenting, including the additional needs of clients from BMER communities.

You will have experience in working with clients on issues of domestic abuse, providing one-to-one and group support and advice, managing your own workload and administration, and assessing the risk and safety of your clients and those connected to your client.  You will have handled safeguarding disclosures and referrals, and you communicate clearly with a range of people both over the telephone and in person.

You will be organised, able to use your initiative, and work effectively as part of a multi-service team. Your administrative skills are strong, and you are adept at using a computer to maintain effective systems.

Flexible and willing to work evenings, you can travel independently. Additionally, you will understand trauma-informed practices, risk mitigation, and safeguarding. Experience liaising with social workers and other professionals, and in related areas such as substance misuse, child protection, or family support, is desirable.

Fluency in an additional language and skills in group work are also advantageous. You stay updated with best practices and new initiatives.

We want you to feel empowered to bring your authentic self to this role, so we encourage flexible working around core hours. We offer an annual continuous Professional Development allowance, generous annual leave entitlement and Birthday leave.

About us

We want to make working at TLC an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
It takes a dedicated, passionate, and flexible team to deliver the range of services we provide. We’re lucky to have over 150 people on our teams and 12 Trustees who believe in what we do. We are looking for enthusiastic, experienced, engaged and highly motivated people to join our team.

As part of Money Ready 16+ Programmes and Delivery Directorate, the London Location Manager is responsible for the successful delivery of Money Ready’s programmes across London, alongside building sustainable, strategic growth of the organisation’s presence, partnerships, and impact in the region (and, where appropriate, surrounding areas).

This is a hybrid delivery and growth role, shaped by the maturity of delivery in the region. In new or developing areas, the postholder will combine direct programme delivery with responsibility for growing Money Ready’s footprint until additional delivery capacity is in place. In established areas, while there may be opportunities to contribute to delivery, the primary focus is on market growth, reach, and saturation, ensuring Money Ready’s programmes are embedded and well-utilised.

The postholder will lead and support a high-quality team of delivery staff already working across London. Money Ready is proud of the calibre of its trainers, which includes former teachers and youth workers, and the role is responsible for creating the conditions in which this team can thrive and deliver consistently excellent programmes.

Together with the current London Location Manager, you will be accountable for developing and delivering a London location strategy, ensuring growth that is worthwhile, strategic, and sustainable. This is a strongly externally-facing role, focused on strengthening Money Ready’s reputation as a go-to provider of financial education in London. The postholder will bring strong local networks and credibility, helping to open doors, build partnerships, and generate opportunities through their presence and leadership.

While the role requires a high degree of autonomy and ownership, it is not expected to be delivered in isolation. The London Location Manager will work closely with colleagues across Money Ready, drawing on central expertise and support to deliver regional objectives.

Money Ready is seeking ambitious, values-driven individuals who are excited by the opportunities of working in a growing charity and who are motivated to share their expertise to help Money Ready reach more people through everything we do

Make a Difference Every Day

We are a national charity with international reach, delivering emotional, financial and practical support wherever and whenever it is needed. Each year, our vital services and support continued to help those serving, families, veterans, and the bereaved, in 30 other countries and in 2024 more than 64,000 people benefitted from the charity’s work.

• Increase independence by enabling members of the RAF Family to live life on their own terms, whether through mobility equipment or housing adaptations.
