Like many charities, Honeypot has gone through a period of change as a direct result of the Covid-19 pandemic and is now emerging stronger than ever with a new range of services which means we are seeking to recruit suitably qualified and experienced people to this exciting role. Our team members need to be used to working in a fast-paced environment while being ready to change gear at any moment. Staff need to be comfortable wearing many hats – the cook, the cleaner, the administrator, the entertainer, the teacher, the parent, the good cop, and sometimes, the bad cop (putting in boundaries and having to say, No because ……. ).

Honeypot gives young carers and vulnerable children a break from demanding and stressful responsibilities at home and provides a safe, nurturing environment where children can develop their full potential and achieve the key outcomes needed for their well-being.

Annualised hours:

*In an annual hours system an employee works a certain number of hours over the whole year, but with a certain degree of flexibility about when those hours are worked. Normally, a period of regular hours or shifts forms the core of the arrangement, with the remaining time left unallocated and used on an 'as needed' basis. Source: ACAS
