A little bit about you
We’d like to see applicants who are organised, reliable, and proactive in supporting smooth delivery. You’ll be a clear communicator who works well with others, stays adaptable, and manages priorities effectively. An interest in children’s social work and improving practice will help you contribute to meaningful projects that make a difference.

If you feel you have the skills to make a real impact and contribute to creating lasting social change for children and families, we would love to hear from you.
Important information
We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater racialised minority representation in our senior roles.

Please let us know how we can make the recruitment process more accessible for you by contacting the People team (please see job pack for contact details).
We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) such as ‘ChatGPT’ etc can be useful for applicants e.g. to shorten an initial draft, so we do not attempt to have an absolute ban on AI in applications. However we would caution applicants not to rely too much on AI in drafting answers to application questions. We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you. You are more likely to be able to produce that kind of content yourself than an AI will.
We reserve the right to close this role ahead of the deadline once we reach a suitable number of applications, so please apply as soon as you can!
