The Disability Selection Advisor requires an individual with substantial working knowledge and experience of implementing the Equality Act in order to both navigate the assessment of applicants' suitability (particularly, but not exclusively, those who have a health condition and/or may be considered to have a disability) to commence the Frontline programme and to advise Frontline and local authorities in respect of reasonable adjustments.

This  is a vital position in a pioneering organisation and the appointed individual will bring their extensive knowledge of equality legislation to help develop organisational knowledge, improve participant experience and embed disability best-practice into all aspects of our programme. This role sits within the Suitability team so working with the wider group to ensure a joined-up journey for our participants and local authorities is essential.

The Head of Partnerships and Placements will lead a team to sustain and secure partnerships with local authorities (LAs) and children’s trusts, to develop and support 600+ Fellows (alumni) annually. This is directly linked to achieving Frontline’s organisational objective of having 4,000 impactful Fellows by 2025, who will create social change for children without a safe or stable home.

This is a new team as historically partnerships have been secured from within regional delivery teams. We have been refining our approach and offer to partners over the past 12 months and are now looking for a Head of Partnerships and Placements to lead the new team. The new Head will manage the Partnership and Placement Managers (PPMs) as they take sole responsibility for securing partnerships, while the Delivery Team focus on participant experience and programme quality. The Head of Partnerships and Placements will work closely with the Heads of Delivery in order to secure high-quality placements and ensure targets are met. They will be responsible for providing a great experience for partners and overseeing the team to ensure partner expectations are met. Additionally they will play an active role within Frontline’s Leadership Group.
