At Family Action we support people through change, challenge or crisis. It’s what we’ve done for over 150 years. We protect children, support young people and adults and offer direct, practical help to families and communities.

We see first-hand the power of family to shape lives, for better or worse, so we speak up for the

  • Skilled in stakeholder engagement, partnership building, and service development.
  • Experience with tenders, funding bids, and strategic growth.
  • Knowledge of safeguarding, compliance, and data-driven performance monitoring.
  • Commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, with an understanding of intersectionality.
  • Excellent communication, project management, and organisational skills.
  • A recognised qualification in social work, health, education, youth work (or equivalent), and ideally a management qualification.

We welcome applicants with lived experience of the communities we support.

Main Requirements (for details check the job description and person specification):

· Appointments are subject to Family Action receiving a satisfactory disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service

We are forward looking, ambitious and committed to continuous improvement. We are a people focused, can-do organisation, which strives for excellence in all we do and operates with mutual respect.

Our commitment to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion:

We are committed to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion in all that we do and welcome applications from all sections of the community / particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates and candidates with disabilities because we are committed to increasing the representation of these groups at Family Action. We know that greater diversity will lead to even greater results for families and children and strive for our workforce to be truly representative of the diverse communities we support.

All candidates with a disability are welcome to apply under the Disability Confident Scheme and request priority consideration for an interview, provided they meet the essential criteria for the role.
