We are seeking exceptional candidates to join our Children’s Services team who are proactive, energetic and passionate about supporting young carers and vulnerable children, with a background of relevant professional experience.
Support Workers:
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 ……. ). You will be part of a team where everyone needs to think on their feet while supporting each other. Flexibility, together with a ‘can do’ attitude amongst all staff is essential until we can finally emerge from the challenges that came hand in hand with Coronavirus.
Children’s Services Leaders:
An exciting opportunity for experienced Children’s Services Leader with relevant experience from an educational background with appropriate qualifications. You will inspire, supervise, guide, and set standards for a friendly team delivering our Wrap Round services to young carers. We are seeking an outstanding candidate with excellent creative skills and great enthusiasm, alongside exceptional professional standards, empathy, integrity, and a willingness to embrace change as we further develop our services.
*Roles plus overnight payments £55 per night. Estimated for full time team member at £3,500 p.a. when service is operating at full capacity.
Children’s Services Coordinator:
The Children’s Services Coordinator plays a central role in the delivery of all our services. Under the direction of the Operations Manager, you will lead all aspects of scheduling, planning and coordinating respite breaks, SEAL breaks and outreach programmes, working closely with parents, referrers and others.
About Us
For 25 years, Honeypot has been working to enhance the lives of young carers and vulnerable children aged 5 – 12 years old. We are the only charity in the UK to provide holidays and wrap round support throughout a child’s formative years. 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
When the children are in residence, team members will sleep on site. Staff bedrooms are close to, but separate from, children’s bedrooms. Staff bedrooms have twin single beds; when possible, you will have a room to yourself, however there will be many occasions when you will need to share with a colleague of the same sex.

About the Organisation
Stroke Association. Rebuilding lives after stroke.
When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt.
We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.
We provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.
We’re working to improve the diversity of our team. Because we know that individuality leads to a richer experience for our people and better support for those affected by stroke.
We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. And we’re particularly looking to increase the number of applications from those with lived experience of stroke and those from under-represented communities.
Every five minutes, stroke destroys lives. Help us rebuild them and join our team.
In 2019, we developed a bold new corporate strategy so that we can rebuild more lives after stroke and make a bigger difference to people’s lives. To help us deliver our strategy and make a real difference, we are looking to recruit talented people to a number of new roles. If you would like to support stroke survivors to rebuild their lives, we want to hear from you!
